Resumen de Mining industry must adapt to Ebola, Indaba delegates warned
Ebola was first diagnosed in 1976 in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). There have been several outbreaks in Africa in recent decades, but the latest in West Africa, which has been traced back to soup made from infected bats, has been the biggest in history, de Frey said.
De Frey said that education is the key to managing the disease and said mining companies need to invest in constant surveillance, screening and correct management procedures for suspected cases in order to minimise Ebola's impact on their operations.
