    The Ebola outbreak declared in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in May keeps spreading, and the government announced on Tuesday, Oct 27, that more than 10,000 people have been infected since then. The International Rescue Committee's head of Ebola response said the 2014-2016 West Africa outbreak had only about 4,000 cases at the same stage; that outbreak eventually exceeded 28,000 cases. The current outbreak covers the widest geographic area on record, and nearly 5,000 people have died, second only to more than 11,000 in West Africa; about a third of the dead are children, and about three-quarters of patients under 5 have died. Africa CDC held an online meeting of health ministers on Wednesday, Oct 28.
