There is a chance the Ebola virus could become airborne if the current outbreak is not contained fast enough, the chief of the UN’s Ebola mission has warned. Anthony Banbury, the Secretary General’s Special Representative, told The Telegraph said workers are facing a race against time to bring the rapid spread under control in case the virus mutates. “The longer it moves around in human hosts in the virulent melting pot that is West Africa, the more chances increase that it could mutate,” he said. “It is a nightmare scenario [that it could become airborne], and unlikely, but it can’t be ruled out.”
