At least 10,000 people infected with Ebola in DR Congo

At least 10,000 people have been infected with the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), a country in Central Africa, according to the latest available data.

The figure shows that the outbreak in the country has reached a considerable scale. The source report gives no details on which parts of the country are most affected, how many people have died, or what response measures are being taken, so these questions remain open for now.

The story will be updated as more precise information about the situation in DR Congo becomes available.
