Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda now a global emergency
WHO just declared the Ebola outbreak in DRC and Uganda a public health emergency. It's caused by the Bundibugyo virus-no approved vaccines or treatments exist for this strain. Already, 80 suspected deaths and 246 suspected cases have been reported in DRC's Ituri province. Cases have spread internationally, with lab-confirmed cases in Kampala and even Kinshasa. WHO warns the real outbreak could be much larger. They're urging countries to screen at borders but not to close them. Travel restrictions for contacts are in place: no international travel until 21 days after exposure.
