LISBON, Portugal (AP) - Health workers who left western Angola after they were attacked by residents fearful of a deadly Ebola-like virus have resumed efforts to contain the disease, the World Health Organization said Sunday.
Residents in Uige province had mistakenly feared the WHO teams were spreading — instead of helping contain — the rare Marburg virus, which has killed 184 people out of a total 200 people infected, WHO's spokesman in Angola, Dave Daigle, told the Associated Press by phone.
"Three teams have already resumed activities and are now following up on anyone who had contact with infected people recently," Daigle said.
