 LONDON (AP) - With only two patients left in an isolation ward Tuesday, doctors are hopeful an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Congo may soon be contained.
But because people can carry Ebola for up to three weeks before getting sick, experts say it's too soon to consider the outbreak over.
"We are close to controlling the Ebola outbreak," Dr. Michel Van Herp, an epidemiologist with Medecins Sans Frontieres, said Monday. "But we remain vigilant because the virus is still circulating."
