WHO optimistic about contain ebola

geneva - The World Health Organization (WHO) has 'strong indications' that the outbreak of ebola in Congo 'can be brought under control.' The organization does not see the new outbreak of the deadly virus as an international emergency at the moment. From Sunday, emergency services will vaccinate people in risk areas with an experimental vaccine.

According to an emergency committee from the WHO, international travel or trade restrictions are undesirable at the moment. The WHO announced earlier in the day that the risk of further spread within the Congo is 'very high'. Especially because a case of ebola has been confirmed in the city of Mbandaka, a 'large urban center on major national and international routes on rivers, roads and domestic flights. '

Presumably 25 people have died so far as a result of the virus, but whether they really all died of Ebola is not yet confirmed.
