“I’m concerned about everything, but certainly am,” Trump said when asked if Americans should be concerned about Ebola. “I think that it’s been confined right now to Africa, but it’s something that has had a breakout.”
“That American, as well as six other high-risk contacts, are going to be taken out of that region and taken to Germany,” said Overton, hailing the “internationally recognized location for viral hemorrhagic fever treatments.”
“Dr. Peter Stafford has been safely evacuated and is receiving specialized medical treatment after testing positive for the Bundibugyo ebolavirus while serving in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC),” read the update.
For other Americans, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued travel warnings and introduced restrictions—prohibiting non-U.S. citizens who have been in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan in the last 21 days from entering the United States. The order is set to be in effect for at least 30 days.
Ghebreyesus said there were at least 500 suspected cases and 130 suspected deaths in the outbreak. He warned these numbers will change as field operations are “scaling up,” citing surveillance, contact tracing, and laboratory testing.
Tuesday’s figures are up significantly from those reported by WHO Saturday, which relayed eight laboratory-confirmed cases, 246 suspected cases, and 80 suspected deaths in the Ituri province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And “two laboratory-confirmed cases (including one death) with no apparent link to each other” reported in Kampala, Uganda.
The director-general confirmed the approval of an additional $3.4 million from the WHO’s contingency fund for emergencies, bringing the total financial support in response to the outbreak to $3.9 million.
The U.N. health agency will also convene an emergency committee later Tuesday, to offer advice on “temporary recommendations.”
