Overall, 1,823 people have recovered, while another 930 remain in isolation or are receiving treatment in hospitals, where they are being monitored by health authorities.
Response efforts are currently underway across seven provinces of the DRC, covering 62 health zones.
Health authorities are continuing to strengthen measures aimed at preventing the virus from spreading to other parts of the country.
In the 24 hours preceding the release of the figures, no new health zone had reported an Ebola outbreak, while 25 patients had recovered.
Although no new health zone was affected during that 24-hour period, the number of infections and deaths continues to highlight the severity of the outbreak and the challenges facing health authorities in containing the virus.
Among the measures being intensified is the expansion of Ebola vaccination campaigns, particularly in Tshopo and Bas-Uélé provinces, in an effort to reduce the risk of further transmission.
Health authorities are also continuing to monitor people who have been in contact with Ebola patients.
The latest figures show that the contact-tracing rate has surpassed 87 percent.
