Geneva: The deadliest Ebola epidemic ever has now killed 2,811 in West Africa, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.
The UN health agency on Monday said that the tally of cases in five West African countries have reached 5,864, as of September 18.
The WHO also published the results of the latest meeting of its Ebola emergency committee.
Guinea, where the outbreak began at the start of the year, and neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone by far accounts for most of the cases and continue to see ballooning numbers.
Liberia has been especially hard-hit, with 1,578 deaths from 3,022 cases, the WHO said in a statement.
At the same time the outbreaks in Senegal and Nigeria are pretty much contained, it added.
