KINSHASA, Congo -- Congolese authorities have reported one of the highest daily increases in Ebola cases in the month-old outbreak as the virus spreads quickly in a remote region whose shifting population challenges efforts to find those exposed.
Congo's Ministry of Health on Sunday said 72 new cases were reported in a 24-hour period, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 782. Those include 181 confirmed deaths, with 29 new ones.
