Health workers face significant challenges as they combat a disease that has claimed over 4,000 lives. A large proportion of new cases are emerging outside of established contact networks. Many deaths are occurring without medical care, with at least 60% of fatalities taking place outside treatment centers.

Further details about the outbreak are available, including information about the spread of new cases and the response efforts. The situation on the ground is described as disorganized, with many people becoming sick without being tested or treated.

A high percentage of new cases are coming from unknown sources, making it difficult for responders to track and contain the outbreak.
