Headline figures are the DRC-wide count released 6 August by the DRC national public health institute (INSP), relayed by ECDC: 4,053 confirmed and 1,850 deaths in the DRC, with 793 recovered and 694 in isolation or hospital. The map and the province breakdown below come from the most recent DRC situation report, 4 August (SitRep N°82), which is the only source that splits cases by province: DRC 3,973 confirmed at that date, being Ituri 3,460 across 28 health zones, North Kivu 436 (12 zones), South Kivu 3 (1 zone), and 74 in Haut-Uélé (67) and Tshopo (7) provinces, with 1,801 deaths, 674 patients in isolation and 776 recovered. The 80 cases and 49 deaths reported since then have not been attributed to a province by any source, so the map shows fewer cases than the headline. That gap is unassigned, not missing. 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 4,000 confirmed cases, this is now the second-largest Ebola outbreak on record. No cumulative suspected-case total is published; the 267 shown is the number of new suspected cases recorded in 24 hours, as of 4 August. Case-fatality rate = 1,852 confirmed deaths ÷ 4,074 confirmed cases ≈ 45%. The DRC figures are under continuous review and harmonisation, per ECDC, so a day-to-day change can reflect reclassification as well as new infections. The 5 August update also counts 53 of 140 health zones as currently affected, two more than the 51 in the province table below, the new ones being Gombari in Haut-Uélé and Bafwasende in Tshopo.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Ebola cases are there in the 2026 outbreak?

As of 7 August 2026, the outbreak has 4,074 confirmed cases and 1,852 confirmed deaths: 4,053 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 20 in Uganda, and 1 imported case in France. The DRC figure is the national count released 6 August; the province breakdown on the map is from the 4 August (SitRep N°82) situation report, the most recent one to split cases by province. Figures come from WHO, ECDC, and the DRC Ministry of Health and are updated regularly.

Where is the 2026 Ebola outbreak happening?

The outbreak is centred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where Ituri province is hardest hit (the large majority of confirmed cases, across more than 20 health zones), with further cases in North Kivu and South Kivu. Uganda has recorded 20 confirmed cases, and one imported case has been confirmed in France.

What is the case-fatality rate of the 2026 Ebola outbreak?

More than two in five confirmed cases have died. The case-fatality rate has climbed steadily over the course of the outbreak and now stands at around 44% (confirmed deaths divided by confirmed cases).

Has Ebola spread outside Africa in 2026?

Yes. In June 2026, France confirmed a case in a medical humanitarian worker who returned infected from the DRC, the first Ebola case reported outside Africa during this outbreak. An earlier US patient was medically evacuated to Germany for treatment.

Which type of Ebola virus is causing the 2026 outbreak?

The 2026 outbreak is caused by Bundibugyo virus, one of the four orthoebolaviruses that cause Ebola disease in people. WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in May 2026.

Where can I find a live map of the 2026 Ebola outbreak?

Live Ebola Map (liveebolamap.com) shows an interactive, continuously updated map of confirmed, suspected, and monitored cases by location, plus an outbreak trend chart and a searchable, source-cited table of individual case reports.

About

Live Ebola Map originally launched in 2014 during the West African outbreak. The site went viral on Reddit and tracked over a thousand reports across the world, all moderated and source-cited by volunteers and the community.

It's 2026. A new outbreak is unfolding. The map is back, with the same mission: get the message out, give people the data, source every claim.
