HIGHLIGHTS
There have been 15 935 reported cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD), with 5689 reported deaths.
600 cases were reported in the three most-affected countries in the past week.
Case incidence is stable in Guinea, stable or declining in Liberia, but may still be increasing in Sierra Leone.
Uncertainties in data preclude firm conclusions about progress towards UNMEER goals.
Over 70% of patients with EVD in Guinea are isolated, while over 80% of required safe and dignified burial teams are in place. Liberia and Sierra Leone report that fewer than 70% of patients are isolated, though there is wide variation among districts. Approximately 25% of the required safe burial teams are in place in both countries, though this does not include military burial teams.
