FREETOWN (Reuters) - The World
Health Organization has withdrawn staff from a laboratory testing for
Ebola at Kailahun in eastern Sierra Leone after one of its medical
workers there was infected during the worst ever outbreak of the
disease, a WHO spokesperson said.
"It's a temporary measure to take care of the welfare of our remaining
workers," WHO spokesperson Christy Feig told Reuters. "After our
assessment, they will return."
The WHO has sent nearly 400 people from its own staff and partner
organisations to fight the outbreak in West Africa. It said on Sunday
that a foreign health worker it had deployed in Sierra Leone had been
infected. http://news.yahoo.com/pulls-staff-sierra-leone-ebola-lab-doctor-infected-140605262.html
