The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the rate of new cases of the deadly Ebola virus in hard-hit Liberia has slowed, but added that the crisis is far from over.
WHO’s assistant director-general Bruce Aylward told reporters in Geneva (Switzerland) yesterday (Wednesday, October 30): “It appears that the trend is real in Liberia and there may indeed be a slowing of the epidemic there”.
He, however, said that he was “terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and that people will begin to think Ebola is under control”.
