Thanks to rapid detection and response by local health officials, there have been no additional deaths to date. However, it may be just a delay in reporting due to the isolation and clearance process.
There is no independent reporting network in Congo. After I asked the outbreak, some people in the Congo had heard rumors while others were tight-lipped.
International news - Radio Netherlands Worldwide - English: "Aid organisation Doctors Without Borders has set up an isolation unit in the Democratic Republic of Congo for people infected with the Ebola virus. Sufferers have been placed in quarantine to prevent any further spread of the disease."
