A new, large ebola outbreak is alarming global health experts, concerned that the first reports of the outbreak have come at such a late stage, with hundreds of cases already suspected. Adding to that, the area of the Congo where this outbreak has been identified is mired in an ongoing conflict and right along the borders of Uganda and South Sudan where containment is extremely difficult. The World Health Organization and other health officials have reached the region trying to slow the spread, but weeks have already gone by, with little to no contact tracing.
