"The president of the Republic has given me a mission which is to be realized.154 cases in 1 month whereas elsewhere, it is more than 10,000 deaths and about tens of the thousands cases", declared the virologist Jean-Jacques Muyembe, quoted by actualite.cd.
The responsible of the response team estimates that his strategy goes, considering the number of the cases tested positive. At April 5, the DRC reached the positive figure of 161 cases tested for 18 dead and five cured, according to figures of the national Institute of biomedical research (INRB).About fifty patients would go to be cured well, according to the same source. Relatively positive figures, compared with other countries which record thousands of positive cases per day.
But DRC has also one of the highest lethality rates over the world with more than 10%, whereas the world average accounts for 2%.
Kinshasa, both Kivu, Ituri and Kwilu are the provinces of the countries concerned with positive cases.
