The head of the WHO says that he thinks that Ebola will die at 220 as an epidemic that is ‘more than us’ News about Ebola

Tedros ⁠Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the delay in identifying cases meant that responders were ‘playing games’.

The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) says that there have been 220 people suspected of having died in the current Ebola outbreak and that the delay in the identification of cases meant that the responders are now “playing games”.

“We are increasing operations rapidly, but at the moment the epidemic has overtaken us,” said Tedros ⁠Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Monday, adding that countries bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) must take immediate action.

Earlier on Monday, Uganda reported two more cases of Ebola, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to seven.

In a televised statement on Sunday, the WHO chief said that as efforts have been stepped up in the Ebola response in the DRC, more than 900 suspected cases have been identified so far.

Ebola is a viral disease that is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids. It can cause severe bleeding and organ failure, which can lead to death.

The epicenter of the latest outbreak is in the eastern DRC region of Ituri, and it has also spread to neighboring areas, up to 200km (125 miles) from “ground zero”, and beyond the country’s borders, to Uganda.

There is no vaccine or treatment for the new Bundibugyo strain of Ebola.

Last week, the WHO declared Bundibugyo’s outbreak of the rare Ebola virus a global public health emergency, and panic gripped the streets of cities in the DRC and Uganda.

Meanwhile, in Uganda, health officials said they have found two more people with Ebola on Monday, bringing the total number of reported cases in the country to seven.

The two new cases are health workers at a private hospital in the capital Kampala, and both are Ugandans, the health ministry said in a statement.

The clinic was held in the DRC

On Sunday evening, angry young men stormed an Ebola hospital in eastern DRC, forcing medical staff to evacuate the patients as gunfire rang out in the area.

It was not known if anyone was injured in the attack that took place at the Mongbwalu hospital, but Richard Lokudu, who is the medical director of the hospital, told The Associated Press that the terrorists wanted the bodies of two of their brothers to be handed over to them.

There were gunshots, and medics were trying to get patients and staff out, Lokudu said by phone.

“Mongbwalu General Hospital is on alert,” he said. He had no idea what was going on.

On Saturday, a group of residents of the city of Mongbwalu, which is in the Ituri region, burned down a tent suspected of being infected with Ebola by the humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders (MSF). During the attack, 18 people suspected of having Ebola left the scene and were not identified, Lokudu said.

Last Thursday, a treatment center in Rwampara town was also set on fire after family members were prevented from taking the body of a man suspected to have died of Ebola.

Congolese authorities have ordered that the dangerous process of placing suspected victims be handled by the authorities whenever possible, which could be met with protests from family and friends.

Last Friday, the government said funerals and gatherings of more than 50 people would be banned in northeastern DRC in an effort to curb the spread of the virus.
