WHO warns of rapid spread of Ebola virus worldwide
The World Health Organization warns that the Ebola virus is spreading at an unprecedented rate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with over two thousand cases and 796 deaths recorded since the outbreak began two months ago. This is the third largest outbreak of the disease to date. The situation is worsening despite response efforts, as more than 80% of infections are detected in individuals not listed among contacts, and two-thirds of the deaths occur within communities rather than healthcare facilities. The current outbreak is caused by a rare strain of the Ebola virus that results in an illness for which there is no approved vaccine or treatment. Its spread is being exacerbated by armed conflict and the complex environment in which it is expanding.
