Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization, said Thursday that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has killed more than 200 people, can still be contained despite conflict in the country's east. The WHO on Friday announced that one patient was confirmed to have recovered from the virus, for which there is no vaccine or treatment.
