WHO Says Ebola in DRC and Uganda Is Not a Global Emergency

The World Health Organization says the Ebola situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda does not amount to a pandemic emergency. The outbreak has been linked to bushmeat, burial rites, and disinformation in the DRC. A US ban on travellers from the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan has been criticized as not being the solution. Questions remain about the risks the virus poses in the region.
