Ebola Out of Control: 11 Patients Escape from Isolation Center
Eleven Ebola patients have escaped from an isolation center in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo's Ituri province, raising the risk of a wider spread of the disease, experts say.
An attack on medical workers burying an Ebola victim has also left a coffin abandoned, raising the risk of the virus spreading further.
According to reports, 344 cases of Ebola and 60 deaths have been laboratory-confirmed in Congo and neighboring Uganda.
Ebola is a highly contagious viral disease that is transmitted through bodily fluids and can cause severe complications and a high mortality rate.
