Abstract
The Democratic Republic of Congo declared their tenth outbreak of Ebola in North Kivu in 2018, which was the second-largest in the world and took place in an active conflict zone. Transmission of Ebola occurs by direct contact with infected bodily fluids and can occur within facilities when infection prevention and control (IPC) precautions are not strictly practised.
