Ebola outbreak in Central Africa could reach 20,000 cases without strong public health measures
A new CDC analysis warns the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa could reach 20,000 cases without effective public health measures, mirroring the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic. Confirmed cases currently stand at 400 with 63 deaths, but experts suggest underreporting. The outbreak is complicated by armed conflict and displacement in the region.
