Ebola again

,,,,

according to ABC Australia this is the 15th outbreak, three years after the last one.

Key counter measures [included] testing, contact tracing, infection prevention and control, treatment and community engagement. "Vaccination — a crucial protective measure — was launched just four days after the outbreak was declared." The WHO said Congo had a stockpile of treatments as well as 2,000 doses of the Ervebo vaccine that will be transported to Kasai to vaccinate contacts and frontline health workers.

Isolation of cases, protective equipment, and ring vaccinaion is how previous outbreaks have been stopped.
