And there's a feeling that people are increasingly wary.
For NPR News, I'm Emmett Livingstone in Bunyam.
In Bunia in a Turi province, the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak, people no longer greet each other with a handshake.
Teams of volunteers have been going door to door to raise awareness about the disease.
City residents consistently tell the volunteers that they don't have the money to buy disinfectant and they implore the government for help.
Official figures say that 139 people have died from Ebola, but the actual number is probably far higher.
On Friday afternoon, a man riding on the back of a motorbike taxi in Bunia vomited blood and then died on the street.
His driver fled the scene.
Although his death hasn't yet been confirmed as due to Ebola, stories of similar incidents have become common.
And there's a feeling that people are increasingly wary.
For NPR News, I'm Emmett Livingstone in Bunya.
All appears calm on the streets of Bunia, a city of over one million people in a Turi province in eastern Congo.
But the easy atmosphere belies the ongoing crisis.
Handwashing stations have sprung up everywhere.
And in a central plaza, a screen blares a video explaining Ebola symptoms on loop.
185 cases have been recorded in the city, but there is active transmission in the rural hinterland too.
According to the latest government figures, confirmed cases have been recorded in over half of Eturi's health zones.
No one knows the true number of people infected.
Aid workers say that many people are choosing to stay at home if they develop symptoms, which is complicating the response.
