According to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, transmission rates are declining in the hardest-hit areas of Ituri province. This is a positive development, as it suggests that the spread of the disease may be slowing down. However, the WHO also warns that new cases are still emerging, particularly in other areas, and caution is still necessary to prevent a resurgence of the outbreak.
