New Ebola Case in DR Congo Sets Back Hoped for End to Epidemic

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The World Health Organization says it remains committed to
   ending the Ebola outbreak in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
   following discovery of a new case of the disease days before DRC
   authorities had hoped to declare the epidemic over. An Ebola epidemic
   is declared over after two incubation periods or 42 days have passed
   without a confirmed case of the disease.
