WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus visited Kinshasa amid an Ebola outbreak centered in Ituri province that has been declared the fastest-spreading and second-most deadly on record. New cases have doubled in some hotspots over the past week, with the public health emergency first declared in mid-March. A separate health scare involving a passenger death on a timber barge from Kisangani occurred in Kinshasa during the visit, though the individual had not been tested for Ebola.
