KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of Congo (AFP) — The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is moving faster than any previous epidemic of the disease and risks spreading to more countries, the head of the World Health Organisation warned Tuesday.
“We must be frank: the epidemic is far from being under control,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told an emergency meeting on the outbreak.
“It had a big head start, and we are still playing catch-up.”
