CDC: Ebola outbreak could be largest on record

Health officials say a deadly Ebola outbreak has the potential to become the largest on record.

According to CDC estimates, the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo could rival the 2014 epidemic if strong interventions are not implemented.

New modeling shows cases could surpass 20,000 in the next three months alone. Officials confirmed at least 60 deaths so far.

The World Health Organization says it is working to catch up with the outbreak as the scale and timeline remain under investigation.
