Africa CDC calls for an extraordinary virtual crisis meeting as the Ebola outbreak spreads from the Democratic Republic of Congo to neighboring countries and beyond. Multiple outlets report the session will take place on October 28, bringing African health officials together to coordinate the response.
ABC News, Deutsche Welle and Breitbart News all describe the meeting as virtual and emphasize Africa CDC’s invitation to health ministers or African health officials. ABC News specifically adds that Nigeria records its first case, framing the summit as partly prompted by the detection of Ebola in Nigeria. Deutsche Welle focuses more generally on the geographic spread beyond Congo. Breitbart also highlights Nigeria confirming an Ebola infection while restating the planned Africa CDC meeting and date.
