UN Special Envoy Says Ebola Still Flaming In West Africa
The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s special envoy on Ebola says the deadly virus is “still flaming strongly” in some parts of West Africa. David Nabarro made the remarks during a news conference on Tuesday in the Swiss city of Geneva. “We know the outbreak is still flaming strongly in western Sierra Leone and some parts of the interior of Guinea," Nabarro said.
The UN official added that more foreign health workers and specialists were needed in the areas still battling the virus, calling on the international community to provide more treatment units and beds."We can't sit back and say the job is even partially done because...as long as there is infection in a part of an area that could easily spread, it could even spread to places where current infections levels are zero," Nabarro warned.
The UN Ebola envoy also pointed out that there was a drop in transmission rates in Liberia.Sierra Leone faces the most serious outbreak of the disease with reports of up to 100 new cases every day.
