The rate of new Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has more than doubled since September after rebel violence in northeastern Congo caused response efforts to be briefly suspended, according to an article on the NBC website
There were 33 new cases between Oct. 1 and Oct. 9, compared to 41 cases during all of September.
Most of the new cases have been in Beni, where experts had to suspend Ebola containment efforts for days after a rebel attack.
The World Health Organization recently reported that the 19 health workers who have caught Ebola in this epidemic have been infected outside of hospitals or clinics, meaning that the virus is spreading in the community.
