@xvoxdigitalmedia: France 🇫🇷 has confirmed its first Ebola case linked to the ongoing outbreak in Central Africa. The patient, a doctor returning from a humanitarian mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), tested positive upon arrival and was immediately isolated. Health authorities have launched contact tracing and say the risk to the public remains low, as Ebola spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids and not through the air. The World Health Organization (WHO) says it is closely monitoring the situation, supporting response efforts, and working with French and Congolese health officials to prevent any further spread. WHO has also stressed that imported cases can be contained quickly when detected early. This marks the first Ebola case detected in Europe since the current outbreak began in Central Africa.
