 Ebola 'spreads at its fastest rate in DR Congo'

 
KINSHASA 2 Apr (ANA) - The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is spreading at its fastest rate since it was detected about eight months ago, a World Health Organisation spokesman is quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
 
A total of 72 cases were reported last week, higher than the record 57 of the previous week, Christian Lindmeier said.
 
"People are becoming infected without access to response measures," Mr Lindmeier told Reuters.
 
The current outbreak has killed more than 600 people and has infected more than 1,000 people, making it the second-largest ever recorded.(ANA)
