The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global health emergency following the rapid spread of a new 'Bundibugyo' strain of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The new strain is highly lethal, with a mortality rate ranging between 30% to 50%. Over 906 suspected cases have been identified, with 125 confirmed deaths reported so far. There is currently no vaccine available for this specific strain. The virus is spreading in densely populated areas of Congo and neighboring Uganda, making contact tracing difficult. Health experts emphasize that early care is crucial to reducing the high fatality rate. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/ebola-outbreak-in-congo-death-toll-rises-to-50-percent-11891897 #creator program
