Ebola lingers in semen for nine months

Ebola could come back. It could be a problem again. For three or more years we have heard news reports about the Ebola Crisis in Sierra Leone. This virus has been extinguished and stopped. There are now many survivors.

A new research study in New England Journal of Medicine reports that in tests, two-thirds or 66% of male survivors are carrying the virus in their semen. Men who have survived Ebola are being encouraged to wear condoms. The society who helps survivors the health clinics and community hospitals should try to organise the use of condoms.

Margaret Chan, who is the director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO) is worried. She said to the BBC it worrying because they don't know. She thinks people need to take precaution and advise survivors to use contraceptions.

I think that the measures might not be sufficient because they can't control all the people who may have the virus in their cells.
