The World Health Organization has once again declined to declare that the Ebola virus outbreak in in Congo constitutes a 'global health emergency.'

At a press briefing following the meeting, Dr. Preben Aavitsland, the acting chair of the committee, announced that the outbreak is"a health emergency in the Democratic Republic of the Congo" but that the situation does not yet meet the criteria for being declared a global emergency.

The outbreak was announced on Aug. 1 in eastern Congo and has become the second-deadliest in history, after the West African outbreak in 2014 that killed more than 11,300 people.
