A fast-moving Ebola epidemic originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has now breached borders into four neighboring nations, marking the geographically widest footprint of any Ebola outbreak in history.

Health officials report active transmission clusters in two of the newly impacted countries, with imported cases reaching three distinct African regions.
