> Doctors Without Borders has warned against premature optimism over the Democratic Republic of Congo’s largest-ever Ebola outbreak. MSF says the outbreak is moving into new, less-prepared areas: South Ubangi is now the seventh affected province, while North Kivu accounts for nearly half of newly confirmed cases. WHO figures show more than 3,500 deaths and over 7,200 confirmed cases.
