WHO Europe chief Hans Kluge stressed that the risk of an Ebola spread remains low ahead of the World Cup, as the United States continues pressuring other countries to follow their lead and impose restrictions for travelersfrom affected countries.
“There is no reason to change your plans. Travel as normal, stay informed and enjoy the tournament," Kluge addressed World Cup fans in a statement.
