Experts endorse unified plan to tackle Ebola outbreak

The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has launched a coordinated response with African countries to contain the worsening Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo amid growing fears that misinformation, insecurity and porous borders could accelerate the spread of the deadly virus.

Officials in DR Congo updated the death toll to 204 late on Saturday, hours after the Red Cross said three volunteers in the country had died and Uganda confirmed three new Ebola cases.
