Medical experts in Europe on high alert for Ebola

Ebola Outbreak

Some of the world’s top Ebola experts are gathering in Geneva to discuss a plan for developing drugs to treat the virus. So far, it is still contained to Africa.

The only confirmed case in Europe is a Spanish missionary who was medically evacuated from Liberia. There is one more case under investigation of a young man in Sweden who recently traveled to West Africa. CCTV America’s Jack Barton reports on the precautions being taken.

 

The World Health Organization has brought together some of the leading minds in the health field to talk about tackling the Ebola outbreak. So what should we expect from the meeting in Geneva?
