At Least Six Americans Exposed to Ebola During DR Congo Outbreak The Democratic Republic of Congo's latest Ebola outbreak has sent shockwaves around the world, with six American citizens reportedly exposed to the virus in the affected region.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the situation an international emergency, citing concerns that the current strain could be "a much larger outbreak" than initially thought.
This echoes worries raised during the 2014 2016 West African outbreak, which infected over 28,600 people and claimed more than 11,000 lives.
