In the reporting, both outlets identify Patrick Otim, programme area manager for emergency response at the WHO Regional Office for Africa, as the person giving the explanation.

AllAfrica carries the same report, emphasizing the WHO statement and similarly highlighting survivors’ transmission routes, with the shared focus on preventing misunderstandings about everyday exposures.
