WHO declares Congo Ebola outbreak a public health emergency of international concern

An emergency committee of experts convened by the WHO, the global health arm of the United Nations, recommended the decision after meeting in Geneva on Wednesday to reassess whether the current epidemic constitutes a public health emergency of international concern.

A confirmed Ebola case in Goma was announced late Sunday by the country's health ministry. The patient, a 47-year-old pastor, was transferred to an Ebola treatment center but died. Officials identified and vaccinated 40 confirmed contacts of the pastor in Goma as well as 37"high risk" contacts, the ministry said.

Two people, including a 5-year-old boy who tested positive for Ebola after traveling home to neighboring Uganda, also died, according to the Ugandan health ministry. The boy was the first cross-border case in the ongoing outbreak. This outbreak is infecting more children than previous ones-- 31% of total cases as of July 7, compared to 20% in previous outbreaks, according to the United Nations Children's Fund.

ABC seems like only network covering this. This is serious.

Yet ABC still wants open borders

Solution just kill dem all

Ebola has never gone away. Just partially contained.

What can we do to help from here? Is there anything

It just think about that Clinton's were supposed to donate a ton of money for that Ebola outbreak. Now we found out none of that money went there it was all a ruse by the Obama field White House and Hillary Clinton's lies like usual

Finally. Does this mean other attention is being paid? I know their are test project sites in the US. So, what are you all doing, exactly?

No international travel restrictions . . . maybe this is because there is no *LICENSED* vaccine available and therefore certificates of vaccination cannot be used to implement restrictions?

Watch out people this country along with England is always doing things for population control be careful and wise diseases don’t just pop up and go away

another reason to stay indoors all day

Thank god im immune to Ebola!

Coming to Americas doors because they won't put an end to this crisis. Africans spend thousands to get here clearly they can afford to go Anywhere else.

THE most important story of the Century!!!! If EBOLA mutates to a “airborne” virus, it could become a pandemic of epic proportions and the Democrats will NOT address our border issue! Disgusting!

Well shit
