Officials report 5 new infections, expanding the outbreak to 923 cases.
A 20th health zone in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has confirmed its first Ebola case, according to today's update from the ministry of health. A young woman who was a case-contact of patient in Butembo, refused follow-up, and died is the first case-patient recorded in Lubero.
Patients must be treated as patients, not as biothreats, MSF head says.
There are now officially 907 cases of Ebola in the DRC.
With 8 new infections (and 6 more deaths), the outbreak has grown to 897 cases.
Three new cases lift the outbreak total to 888, and officials say to expect more.
The WHO said the attacks increase the risk of disease spread and are "profoundly disrespectful."
The attack is the second to target MSF treatment centers in just a matter of days.
The shuttered MSF center has admitted more than 600 people since December, 49 with confirmed infections.
Thirteen new cases raise the outbreak total to 872 cases, including 548 fatal ones.
