DR Congo’s reported Ebola tally passes 10,000 confirmed cases

Congolese health authorities’ tally reported on 27 October 2026 puts cumulative Ebola infections in the Democratic Republic of Congo at 10,060 confirmed cases, with 4,887 deaths. Anadolu and AFP report these national figures.

Authorities also report 2,684 recoveries. The outbreak, identified in May, has affected eight provinces. These figures describe the cumulative outbreak and do not represent infections or deaths solely in the past 24 hours.

Ouragan specifies that the daily data concern 25 October, with 96 newly notified cases. It also distinguishes reported deaths from the dates on which they occurred: delayed notification means that all the deaths cannot be assigned to a single day.

The updated tally provides a fresh monitoring point. Differences between data collection, the report and online publication dates must be retained when interpreting the outbreak’s evolution.
