EBOLA: Death toll rises to 4,950 out of 13,241 cases in West Africa – WHO

The death toll from the Ebola epidemic has risen to
4,950 out of 13,241 cases in the three worst-hit
countries of West Africa, the World Health Organization
(WHO) said on Friday, calling for widespread rigorous
control measures to halt the virus, Reuters reports.
"Case incidence is declining in some districts in Guinea,
Liberia and Sierra Leone, while steep rises persist in
other districts," Reuters quotes the United Nations
agency as saying in a statement with its latest figures to
Nov. 4.

Shoring up defences in states neighbouring the three countries remains "critical", it said.
