WHO: Healthcare workers among first Ebola cases

The World Health Organization has reported that healthcare workers are among the first infected in the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Congolese authorities report nearly 900 confirmed cases and 232 deaths across 33 health zones in three provinces. The outbreak continues to spread despite accelerating public health measures, with the WHO warning it is 'evolving fast.' The infection of healthcare workers raises concerns about the capacity of the health system to respond effectively.
