Live Ebola Map: 2026 Ebola Outbreak Tracker & Live Case Map
The map and the province breakdown below come from the most recent DRC situation report, 31 July (SitRep N°78), which is the only source that splits cases by province: DRC 3,674 confirmed at that date, being Ituri 3,229 across 28 health zones, North Kivu 378 (11 zones), South Kivu 3 (1 zone), and 64 in Haut-Uélé (57) and Tshopo (7) provinces, with 1,621 deaths, 760 patients in isolation and 666 recovered. Plus Uganda 20 (2 deaths; outbreak declared over on 28 July; last confirmed case 21 June, last patient discharged 16 July) and France 1 (a medical humanitarian worker who returned infected from DRC, and the first case reported outside Africa in this outbreak). With the DRC total past 3,000 confirmed cases, this is now the second-largest Ebola outbreak on record. No cumulative suspected-case total is published; the 321 shown is the number of new suspected cases recorded in 24 hours, as of 31 July. Case-fatality rate = 1,623 confirmed deaths ÷ 3,695 confirmed cases ≈ 44%. Sources: WHO, ECDC, Africa CDC and the DRC Ministry of Health. Sources: Africa CDC · WHO Disease Outbreak News · ECDC
Outbreak Trend
Outbreak-wide totals over time (DRC + Uganda + imported cases) from WHO / ECDC / DRC Ministry of Health situation reports. Case-fatality rate is plotted on the right axis. Suspected cases are omitted, because no fresh figure has been published since 1 June. The full series behind this chart is published as open data: history.json, one point per situation report since 27 May 2026, and cases.json for the per-location case reports.
