Mass Ebola outbreak 'is unlikely'

Nation continues to assist fight against deadly virus in West Africa

China's risk of a mass Ebola outbreak is quite slim, given the nation's capacity for epidemic detection and control, said a high-ranking public health official.

"The epidemic monitoring and response capacity in the country, particularly the coordination by all stakeholders such as hospitals, public health institutions and inspection and quarantine departments, could bring Ebola well under control and stop further spreading," Gao Fu, deputy director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told China Daily.
