The public health risk from the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been upgraded from high to very high, the World Health Organization said on Friday.
“We are now revising our risk assessment to very high at the national level,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference.
He said the Ebola outbreak in Congo is “spreading rapidly” and now poses a “very high” risk at the national level.
The risk remains high for regional spread and low at global levels, he told reporters.
