WHO Ready For ‘Worst Case Scenario’ In Ebola Outbreak

The World Health Organization said Friday it was preparing for “the worst case scenario” in a fresh outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

“We are very concerned, and we are planning for all scenarios, including the worst-case scenario,” WHO’s head of emergency response Peter Salama told reporters in Geneva.

WHO has tallied 32 suspected or confirmed cases in the vast strife-torn central African country, including 18 deaths, between April 4 and May 9.
