A deadly Covid variant that can beat the current vaccines is a matter of "when, not if", a leading scientist from the World Health Organisation warned today.

The United Nations Ebola chief said Nov. 18 his top priority now that the deadly Ebola epidemic appears to be nearing an end is helping more than 15,000 survivors who need medical and psychological support.

The Ebola epidemic is decreasing but is still present in a third of the areas of the three worst affected west African nations, UN Ebola coordinator David Nabarro warned Jan. 29.
