From The New York Times:
The head of the World Health Organization said on Tuesday that he was “deeply concerned about the scale and speed” of the Ebola outbreak spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, as the suspected death toll in Congo climbed to over 130 people. Laboratory testing has now definitively linked 30 cases to the virus in Congo’s northeastern Ituri Province, where the outbreak was first identified, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the W.H.O., said in an address to the World Health Assembly.
Dr. Tedros said the deaths of health care workers, high population mobility in the area and the absence of vaccines or therapeutics for the Bundibugyo species of Ebola behind the outbreak raised fears of further spread and deaths.
