Congo government figures show that the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history has spread to two new health zones in eastern Congo. A total of 60 zones are now affected. The two new zones affected are Biena and Manguredjipa in Congo’s North Kivu province. The case fatality rate there is much higher than the overall rate of 48% due in part to delayed response efforts. That's according to Congo’s Ministry of Health data posted on Friday. It said the outbreak has recorded 5,794 confirmed cases including 2,786 deaths as it is spreading at an unprecedented speed.
