| * In total, 8 cases were confirmed to have [[ebola]], 4 of them died. Only 5 of the 8 cases were laboratory confirmed.

| * For these 8 cases, there were 583 contacts that have been closely monitored. None of the contacts developed the symptoms of ebola.
| |
| * The DRC government success to control the outbreak is thought to be due to:
| |
|
| |
| :* Reporting the cases by local authorities in the proper time before further spread of the disease.
| |
| :* Testing blood samples and confirming the disease in a timely fashion (due to augmented lab facilities after the last [[outbreak]])
| |
| :* Announcing the [[outbreak]] early by the government, which allowed early response by the [[WHO]].
| |
|
| |
| * Survivors of the outbreak still have access to medical facilities allowing screening for persistent [[virus]].
