Ebola

=== 2020 Équateur province ===
On 1 June 2020, the Congolese health ministry announced a new DRC outbreak of Ebola in [[Mbandaka]], [[Équateur Province]], a region along the Congo River. Genome sequencing suggests that this outbreak, the 11th outbreak since the virus was first discovered in the country in 1976, is unrelated to the one in North Kivu Province or the previous outbreak in the same area in 2018. It was reported that six cases had been identified; four of the people had died. It is expected that more people will be identified as surveillance activities increase.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 June 2020 |title=Ebola virus disease case in Equateur Province, DRC is a new spillover |url=https://virological.org/t/ebola-virus-disease-case-in-equateur-province-drc-is-a-new-spillover/504 |access-date=8 June 2020 |website=Virological.org}}</ref> By 15 June the case count had increased to 17 with 11 deaths, with more than 2,500 people having been vaccinated.<ref>{{Cite web |title=17 infected, 11 dead in new Ebola outbreak in DR Congo |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/06/17-infected-11-dead-ebola-outbreak-dr-congo-200615112609457.html |access-date=15 June 2020 |website=www.aljazeera.com}}</ref> The 11th EVD outbreak was officially declared over on 19 November 2020.<ref>{{Cite web |date=19 November 2020 |title=Democratic Republic of the Congo declares the end to its 11th Ebola outbreak |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/18/health/drc-ebola-outbreak-over-intl-hnk/index.html |access-date=19 November 2020 |website=www.cnn.com}}</ref> By the time the Équateur outbreak ended, it had 130 confirmed cases with 75 recoveries and 55 deaths.
