Highlights
There have been 17 145 reported cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD), with 6070 reported deaths.
Case incidence is slightly increasing in Guinea, stable or declining in Liberia, and may still be increasing in Sierra Leone.
The outbreak in Spain has been declared over.
The UNMEER targets of isolating and treating 70% of EVD cases and burying 70% of EVD-related deaths safely have likely been met in most districts of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. All three countries now have sufficient capacity at a national level to meet both targets, though local variations mean capacity is still insufficient to stop transmission in some areas
