Speaking at a press conference yesterday in Geneva, WHO Spokeswoman Fadela Chaib affirmed that WHO is working on an Ebola road map document, adding it’s really an operational document on how to fight Ebola. The document details the strategy for WHO and partners for six to nine months to come. Asked whether the timeline meant that the United Nations health agency expected the epidemic now raging in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone to continue until 2015, she said that no one knows when this outbreak of Ebola will end. WHO will closely monitor the epidemic and adjust its road map to cope with the outbreak’s new developments. The Ebola epidemic has killed 1350 people since its outbreak in February in West Africa.
