Officials in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) say there are now officially 907 cases of Ebola in an 8-month long outbreak, according to an article on the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy website.
Seven new cases were recently recorded and 223 suspected cases are still under investigation.
The health ministry also recorded three new deaths. Since August, there have been 569 deaths.
The cases come as officials continue to regroup and reorganize after two health facilities were burned in recent weeks in the outbreak's main hot spots, Katwa and Butembo.
