WHO chief visits Ebola outbreak epicenter in eastern Congo as cases outpace response - CBS News
Overview
WHO leadership visited the outbreak epicenter as cases and suspected deaths outpaced the response, noting gaps between suspected and confirmed counts. Official figures previously cited around 906 suspected cases and hundreds of suspected deaths; the situation has since worsened with suspected cases surpassing 1,000 and an infected doctor reported in France after returning from the area. That exportation, combined with the on‑the‑ground strain, underscores the need to accelerate testing, contact tracing, and international support to contain spread.
