The WHO said it would hold an emergency meeting Tuesday after at least nine people died in Equatorial Guinea from Marburg haemorrhagic fever, a cousin of the Ebola virus.
The World Health Organization “will convene an urgent meeting of the Marburg virus vaccine consortium (MARVAC) … to discuss the new Marburg virus disease outbreak in Equatorial Guinea,” the UN health agency said in a statement, adding that the meeting would take place at 3 pm (1400 GMT).
