Ebola Outbreak in Congo: Health Officials Intensify Search for Undetected Infections

This intensified search, led by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and its partners, is expected to increase the reported number of suspected cases as community health workers uncover previously missed illnesses.
