The death toll from the world's worst Ebola outbreak had risen to 887 by
Aug. 1, while the total number of cases in the four West African
countries affected stood at 1,603 on the same date. The recent figure
marks a significant increase since last Thursday, when the death toll
was put at 158 people. Most of the deaths have been concentrated in
Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. On Monday, Nigeria reported that it
has confirmed a second case of Ebola, indicating the disease is
spreading there too. Two Americans have been infected in West Africa.
One of them has already been transported to the US for treatment and the
other will arrive early Tuesday.
