The World Health Organization (WHO) announced encouraging signs in the fight against the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but cautioned that the outbreak is "far from over."

• As of September 11, Congo had reported over 7,000 confirmed Ebola cases.
• Key organizations involved include the World Health Organization and the DRC's National Institute of Biomedical Research.
• While more than 3,000 healthcare workers have been vaccinated with Merck's Ervebo, its effectiveness against the current strain (Bundibugyo virus) is unknown, with trials expected soon.
