Ebola Outbreak: WHO Declares Emergency, US Restricts Travel, American Infected The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public health emergency on Sunday, warning that even as we emerge from the pandemic's shadow, global health threats continue to simmer beneath the surface.
The current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda has all the hallmarks of a disease running amok – uncontrolled spread, clusters of cases, and healthcare workers succumbing to the virus.
In the DRC alone, there are 10 confirmed cases, 336 suspected cases, and 88 deaths.
