The death toll from Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo has risen to 522 since the start of an outbreak in late July last year, the country’s Health Ministry said on Friday.
Among 932 cases of reported hemorrhagic fever, 867 were confirmed to be Ebola cases, according to the ministry.
Some 36 people are still getting treatments for the disease while 309 have recovered from the virus in the Central African country.
At least 65 people died following hemorrhagic fever, but it couldn't be verified whether they died of Ebola because they were buried without an autopsy.
