WHO sounds global alarm over ‘extraordinary’ Ebola strain spreading through central Africa


A terrifying strain of Ebola has triggered a global health emergency after tearing through central Africa and spreading into major urban capitals, health officials warned Saturday.

The World Health Organization slapped a “public health emergency of international concern” label on the deadly Bundibugyo Ebolavirus outbreak following a surge of cases across the Congo, and now Uganda.

There are “significant uncertainties to the true number of infected persons and geographic spread” and a “limited understanding of the epidemiological links” between victims, according to the WHO.
