WHO director-general "concerned" over potential scope of Uganda's Ebola outbreak

World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday that he is "concerned" about the possible scope of the Ebola outbreak in Uganda, which was first reported last month. 

So far, Uganda has reported 60 confirmed cases, 20 probable cases and 44 deaths, Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during Wednesday's briefing. Twenty-five people have recovered. 

The Ministry of Health is investigating eight recently reported cases that seemed to have no link to known contacts already infected with Ebola, the director-general said.
