Although it has been two days since their last update, today’s Ebola roadmap appears to only add one day’s worth of data to the case count tally, with a jump of 372 cases between September 13th and 14th.
Deaths over the same period jumped by 167 cases.
The good news is that the situations in both Nigeria and Senegal appear to have stabilized, with no new cases reported in the month of September. Several hundred contacts of cases are still under observation.
