Ebola Panic Averted on Kinshasa Riverboat | Lubbock News
Description
Relief in Kinshasa as tests confirm no Bundibugyo virus cases on the quarantined riverboat — despite panic sparked by the death of a passenger who’d fallen ill weeks earlier. Over 200 travelers were held for observation, samples collected and tested, and the vessel thoroughly sanitized. The National Institute of Biomedical Research declared all results negative, urging calm as Congo battles its fastest-ever Ebola outbreak. Experts warn the epidemic is spreading too quickly for current containment efforts to keep up.
