Excellencies, dear colleagues and friends, Good morning and welcome once again to our weekly mission briefing on COVID-19. Before I get to COVID-19, a few words about Ebola, the other war-front.
We have now had more than two weeks without a case of Ebola, and this is the longest period since the outbreak started, and there are currently no patients receiving treatment.
We are now counting down to the end of the outbreak. If there are no more cases, we expect the Government of DRC to declare the outbreak over on the 12th of April.
But of course, given the security situation, there could be surprises, but we don’t have any complacency and we will do everything to follow the situation.
