Congo Ebola outbreak kills nearly 1,000 people in record-fast spread

Congo's Ministry of Health reported 999 deaths and 2,473 confirmed cases in the country's latest Ebola outbreak as of Monday. Authorities have already declared it the fastest-spreading Ebola outbreak in history. The response is further complicated by a strike among some health workers, with at least 737 patients currently in isolation or hospital care.
