Daily brief
France has confirmed its first case of Ebola in a doctor who recently returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The doctor, who was on a mission in the DRC, tested positive after arriving in France and is now being treated in a hospital. French health authorities are monitoring five people who may have had contact with the doctor, and the World Health Organization has been notified. Officials say the risk to the public remains low. The case is linked to the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the DRC, where the WHO is preparing to begin trials of two experimental treatments next week.
