According to the latest Congolese government figures, more than 3,300 people have been infected since the outbreak was declared in May, and more than 1,400 people have died.
The UN's senior Ebola coordinator, Julien Harness, says efforts to contain Ebola need to accelerate.
This would free up space to focus on specialised medical care.
Failing to speed up soon would make Ebola even harder to contain.

It's two months to the day since the country declared an outbreak.
And despite a huge international health response, the disease is still spreading out of control.
In the past several weeks, Ebola has spread to new areas of Congo, including to the large city of Kisangani.
The World Health Organization has warned that the outbreak may be two to four times larger than what the official figures suggest.
Since Ebola is spreading in rural communities across a huge area, which is often affected by conflict, many people are getting sick and dying unnoticed.
For NPR News, I'm Emmett Livingstone in Kinshasa.
Our lost and found is currently filled with pants.
I don't know what, I've never seen this happen.
I'm here in Rampara Ebola Treatment Center.
All of us are in full protective gear, which includes a bib, two layers of clothing, several layers of gloves, goggles, a mask.
It's difficult to describe the level of discomfort wearing one of these suits.
It's very hot in Oturi.
The sun is bright.
It's very difficult to breathe inside the suit.
And on top of that, the goggles fog up, so it's also difficult to see.
