The Democratic Republic of Congo has been struggling to control an outbreak of Ebola for the past nine months. The current outbreak is the second worst in Africa and has killed more than 1,000 people. Now health services say that 93 health workers have been infected with Ebola in the northern provinces of North Kivu and Ituri provinces. 34 of them have died. Medical personnel usually work with protective clothing and are expected to observe the highest standard of safety when dealing with suspected Ebola patients. Newsday's Christophe Pons spoke to DR Congo's National Ebola Response Coordinator, Dr. Aaron Aruna.
