Congo curtails funeral wakes in Ebola outbreak - WHO upgrades risk assessment
BUNIA (AP):
Authorities in north-eastern Congo banned funeral wakes and gatherings of more than 50 people yesterday in an effort to curb a rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak in a region where medical workers have struggled with a lack of resources and pushback from angry residents.
