\u201cL\u2019OMS a \u00e9valu\u00e9 le risque \u00e9pid\u00e9mique comme \u00e9tant \u00e9lev\u00e9 aux niveaux national et r\u00e9gional et faible au niveau mondial\u201d, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 mercredi devant la presse \u00e0 Gen\u00e8ve le directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l\u2019OMS, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, au lendemain de la tenue d\u2019un comit\u00e9 d\u2019urgence sur cette \u00e9pid\u00e9mie d\u2019Ebola dans l\u2019est de la RDC. \u201cLa situation actuelle ne r\u00e9pond pas aux crit\u00e8res d\u2019une urgence pand\u00e9mique\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLa situation actuelle et les crit\u00e8res d\u2019une urgence de sant\u00e9 publique de port\u00e9e internationale sont r\u00e9unis, et nous convenons que la situation actuelle ne r\u00e9pond pas aux crit\u00e8res d\u2019une urgence pand\u00e9mique\u201d, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 la pr\u00e9sidente du comit\u00e9 Lucille Blumberg, confirmant le constat pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment communiqu\u00e9 par la direction de l\u2019OMS.

Des investigations sont en cours, a affirm\u00e9 l\u2019une de ses responsables, Ana\u00efs Legand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le risque d\u2019une infection \u00e0 Ebola dans l\u2019UE est \u201ctr\u00e8s faible\u201d et \u201crien n\u2019indique\u201d que les Europ\u00e9ens devraient prendre des mesures sp\u00e9cifiques au-del\u00e0 des recommandations habituelles de sant\u00e9 publique, a affirm\u00e9 mercredi la Commission europ\u00e9enne. \u201cNous savons que les maladies ne s\u2019arr\u00eatent pas aux fronti\u00e8res, et c\u2019est \u00e9galement le cas pour Ebola\u201d, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 une porte-parole de l\u2019ex\u00e9cutif europ\u00e9en, Eva Hrncirova, lors d\u2019un point de presse. \u201cC\u2019est pourquoi (…) nous faisons tout notre possible pour soutenir la r\u00e9gion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L\u2019OMS \u00e9value le nombre de d\u00e9c\u00e8s suspect\u00e9s d\u2019\u00eatre li\u00e9s \u00e0 Ebola \u00e0 171, parmi pr\u00e8s de 600 cas suspects.

En RDC, 51 cas sont confirm\u00e9s. \u201cNous savons que la dimension de l\u2019\u00e9pid\u00e9mie est bien plus importante\u201d, a insist\u00e9 le chef de l\u2019OMS. Deux cas ont \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 observ\u00e9s en Ouganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
