BUNIA, DR Congo — World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Saturday called on countries that have imposed travel bans or closed borders in response to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda to reconsider such measures.

The outbreak is threatening to overwhelm health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, while nine cases have now been confirmed in neighbouring Uganda.

There have been at least 1,077 suspected cases of Ebola in the DRC since the outbreak was declared on May 15, including 246 deaths.

Aid groups warn the response has not kept pace with one of the fastest-spreading outbreaks on record, with 906 suspected cases and 223 suspected deaths.

The director-general of the World Health Organization has arrived in Bunia, the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

WHO's Tedros calls for a community-led fight as a rare Ebola strain spreads rapidly through conflict-hit eastern DRC.
