Geneva, Oct 14 (IBNS): The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday warned that there could be up to 10,000 new Ebola cases a week in next two months.

Quoting WHO assistant director-general Dr. Bruce Aylward, the health body tweeted: "By December 2014, 5,000 to 10,000 #Ebola cases per week anticipated in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone."

Speaking on the future actions, he said: " We focus in isolating #Ebola cases and treating them with supportive medical care."

He said as many as 8,914 Ebola cases and 4,447 deaths have been reported to WHO so far.

"By 90 days, we want to start seeing week-by-week decline in number of #Ebola cases in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone," Aylward said.
