France reports first Ebola patient as cases in Africa surge above 1,000 - The Washington Post
Overview
France confirmed its first Ebola patient — a doctor who returned from a humanitarian mission and is in stable condition — as cases in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo surge above 1,000. Health experts warn this outbreak could become one of the worst on record, potentially rivaling past large epidemics. The reported infection in France underscores the risk of international spread and adds urgency to containment, testing, and cross-border coordination with agencies already responding in DR Congo and neighbouring countries.
