✦AI Summary
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is spreading largely undetected, with WHO officials estimating the true scale to be two to four times higher than confirmed cases. Community transmission remains intense, exacerbated by the milder symptoms of the Bundibugyo strain which leads to delayed medical treatment.
The figures underscore the challenges facing health workers as they battle to contain the outbreak in the country's northeast, which has so far infected 1,792 people and killed 625, according to government data released on Thursday.
