Ebola outbreak scale 'underestimated': WHO

Ebola outbreak scale 'underestimated': WHOLondon, Aug 15 - The number of deaths and confirmed cases of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa appears to be 'underestimated', says the World Health Organization.

The WHO said that the scale of the outbreak was extremely large and that the death toll did not reflect it.

According to the BBC, it also said that extreme measures need to be taken.

The Ebola outbreak started from Guinea in February and has spread to Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

The WHO said that the danger of transmission of Ebola during air travel was low as it was not an airborne disease.

According to reports, Kenya Airways has rejected demands to suspend flights to states hit with the Ebola epidemic. (ANI)
