WEDNESDAY, Feb. 12, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Experts are “very encouraged” after just three new Ebola cases were reported in the past week in eastern Congo, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It is an indication that the world’s second deadliest Ebola outbreak in history may be weakening after 18 months, the Associated Press<\/i> reported.<\/p>\n

So far, at least 2,249 people have died in the epidemic that began in August 2018.<\/p>\n

“But until we have no cases for 42 days, it’s not over,” Tedros cautioned, the AP<\/i> reported. “As you know, any single case could re-ignite the epidemic, and the security situation in eastern (Congo) remains extremely fragile. So, we take the progress on Ebola with caution, although it’s a big success.”<\/p>\n
