About this episode
The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially elevated the national public health risk of the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to "very high."
The upgrade reflects the rapid spread of a rare and dangerous variant of the virus, expanding case numbers, and a highly complex security environment in the region. While the threat inside the DRC is critical, the WHO maintains that the regional risk is "high" and the global risk remains "low".
