AP reported on the opening of treatment centers for a rare form of Ebola in the DRC
Three centers for the treatment of a rare type of Ebola, which has killed about 120 people, will be opened in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This was reported on May 19 by the Associated Press (AP).
"The DRC will open three Ebola treatment centers in the eastern province of Ituri following an outbreak of a rare strain of the virus for which there are no approved vaccines or treatments, as international health authorities have warned of the growing risk of regional spread," the publication says.
On May 17, the press service of Rospotrebnadzor noted that there is currently no risk of Ebola spreading in Russia. As part of the federal Sanitary Shield project, enhanced sanitary and quarantine control is in effect at all checkpoints, and an automated Perimeter system is used to assess risks.
On May 15, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda an international emergency. The organization points to significant uncertainty about the actual number of cases and the extent of the spread of the virus.
