On Tuesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a significant reduction in the number of suspected Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), revising the count from nearly 1,000 to 116. The updated figures were presented during a hybrid press briefing involving various UN agencies. WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier reported 321 confirmed cases and 48 confirmed deaths due to the virus in DRC. In Uganda, there have been nine confirmed cases and one death. Lindmeier explained that many suspected cases had been ruled out as they either had different diseases or were experiencing fevers without other symptoms. He emphasized that suspected cases can fluctuate significantly as they include anyone with Ebola-like symptoms who is subsequently tested. Currently, there is no estimate for deaths that may be suspected to have been caused by Ebola. The WHO continues to monitor the situation closely as the outbreak evolves.
