And another massive challenge is isolating suspected Ebola cases and also contact tracing.
According to the latest figures, health workers are only managing to trace the contacts of about 40% of the confirmed cases in Eturi.
Dozens of people have also left treatment centers and returned to their communities.
But there is some good news.
Testing capacity, which was a huge problem in the initial weeks of the outbreak, has recently improved.
And some people are being healed, though.
Right, so some people are recovering from Ebola.
On Saturday, Peter Stafford, an American doctor who had contracted Ebola in eastern Congo and was evacuated to Germany, was released from a medical facility after repeated negative tests.
Inside Congo, too, some patients are getting better.
Health authorities said that over the weekend, three new people had been healed, bringing the total number to 12.
And what this shows is that the virus isn't necessarily a death sentence.
It's still extremely dangerous, but the species of Ebola virus that's circulating appears to have a slightly lower mortality rate than more common variants.
Experts are saying that the chances of recovery are much higher if patients seek appropriate medical care early.
But really, that's the whole problem in a nutshell, access to appropriate medical care.
Ituri, a province in eastern Congo about the size of West Virginia, is the epicenter of the outbreak, with about 94% of recorded cases in Congo.
And according to Congolese health authorities, the virus has now spread to half of the province's health zones.
Now, it's hard to gauge the scale of this crisis, but there are clues that suggest it's much larger than the official figures suggest.
Without warning, the Congolese government suspended flights to and from the city of Bunya, the capital of a Turi province.
It's the second time Congo has suspended flights since the outbreak began last month.
Ituri in eastern Congo is the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak, harbouring over 94% of the confirmed cases.
