The suspected and confirmed case count of Ebola virus disease reached 2,240, according to a World Health Organization Aug. 19 update, with suspected case deaths at 1,229. To reduce the likelihood those who are infected will spread the disease outside their communities, the governments in affected west African countries have set up quarantine zones in areas of high transmission, according to WHO.
The outbreak has prompted concern over the disease’s continued spread, the availability of experimental vaccines and the safety of healthcare workers participating in humanitarian efforts in west African countries.
