Lab tests confirmed Ebola virus infections in five more people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), according to an article on the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy website.
The new cases lift the outbreak total to 458, which includes 410 confirmed and 48 probable cases. (An article on The Hill website puts the infected number at 471.)
The death total is 273, and health officials are still investigating suspected cases.
In a weekly report from the WHO African regional office that covered 28 cases reported between Nov 23 and Dec 1, the group said the number of illnesses declined from 46 reported the week before. Weekly deaths dropped from 22 reported 2 weeks ago to 19 last week.
