A virologist warns that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is significantly larger than currently visible, potentially impacting Uganda as well. The WHO has declared it a public health emergency of international concern.

M​edical personnel were rushing on Monday to the frontlines of a fast-spreading Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, with cases also confirmed in Uganda. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks with Muhammad Munir, Professor in Virology at Lancaster University. He says that "the scale of the outbreak is way bigger than what we're having now and that is the reason the WHO decided on a public health emergency of international concern".
