BUNIA, Congo (AP) \u2014 The fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history has spread to two new health zones in eastern Congo, with a total of 60 now affected, according to the latest government figures published on Friday.<\/p>\n

The two new zones affected are Biena and Manguredjipa in Congo\u2019s North Kivu province, where the case fatality rate is much higher than the overall rate of 48%, due in part to delayed response efforts, according to Congo\u2019s Ministry of Health data.<\/p>\n

It said the outbreak has recorded 5,794 confirmed cases, including 2,786 deaths, as it is spreading at an unprecedented speed, faster than efforts to track and slow it.<\/p>\n
