It was the second visit by the WHO director-general to the Central African country since the outbreak was declared in mid-May. The outbreak has accounted for 3,874 confirmed cases, including 1,751 deaths, as of Monday, according to the latest data from Congo’s Ministry of Health. While some workers say they have started receiving payment in the last week for work done since the outbreak began, they are demanding improved wages. Anicet Baluku, a resident of Bunia, the capital of Ituri, blamed the death of his two brothers from Ebola on the strike. Tedros called for action to reach all affected localities, strengthen coordination under the government’s leadership and protect health workers.
