Escalation: US Allocates Additional $20 Million for Ebola
On June 10, the U.S. State Department said it is allocating an additional $20 million to fight the Ebola outbreak in Africa. The outbreak has been concentrated in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to USA Today.
Also on June 10 in Prague, a U.S. doctor who had been isolated in a Czech hospital for Ebola monitoring was released and is heading home. The release was reported by USA Today and by Reuters reports carried by The Straits Times, TradingView, and Internazionale.
The doctor had been transferred from Uganda last month as a precaution after contact with a patient with Ebola, those outlets said. The monitoring took place at a Czech hospital in Prague.
USA Today says global health authorities have been racing to help contain the outbreak in eastern DRC. The new $20 million U.S. allocation adds to international efforts aimed at containment and care.
