00:00Early on Sunday, I declared a public emergency of international concern over an epidemic of Ebola disease in the Democratic
00:09Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
00:13This is the first time a director general has declared a fake before convening an emergency committee.
00:25I did not do this lightly. I did it in accordance with Article 12 of the International Health Regulations after
00:35consulting the ministers of health of both countries and because I'm deeply concerned about the scale and speed of the
00:45epidemic.
00:46We will convene the emergency committee today to advise us on temporary recommendations.
