KINSHASA - Confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have reached 343, the country's Health Minister Roger Kamba said Monday, cited by the Congolese Press Agency (ACP), the country's official news outlet.
The announcement came after coordination meetings on the Ebola response, chaired by Prime Minister Judith Suminwa.
Kamba said that response operations are now better targeted following a government mission to Bunia, the capital of the eastern Ituri province and the epicenter of the outbreak.
Government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya said that Bunia Airport, currently closed except for humanitarian flights, is expected to reopen this week.
