 DR Congo begins trial of Gilead's experimental antiviral for Ebola Bundibugyo Researchers in the Democratic Republic of Congo said on Tuesday they have started enrolling participants in a trial testing Gilead Sciences' experimental antiviral obeldesivir as a post-exposure treatment for the ongoing Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda. DR Congo's National Institute for Biomedical Research among other international agencies are leading the trial in Ituri province, the epicentre of the outbreak. The trial is designed to assess whether post-exposure treatment can reduce the risk of developing Ebola infection after contact with the virus, Reuters reported. The study aims to enroll about 1,000 people aged 12 years and older, who had high-risk exposure to a confirmed Ebola case within the previous five days but have not developed symptoms. Participants will be monitored daily for 21 days, with a final follow-up at 42 days.

 JAIL FOOTBALLERS THAT GO POOR - BROWN IDEYE 


Former Super Eagles forward, Brown Ideye, said international footballers should be jailed if they grow poor and cannot food themselves after retirement. 


Ideye, who is 35 and retired from international football, said international players go broke later in life because they failed to make adequate plans ahead.


“Footballers, start saving for your future from day one. No matter how small your salary is, put something aside for your retirement,” Ideye wrote on X.

 

The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner made this remark against the lamentation of former Super Eagles defender Taribo West that Peter Rufai's family begged for money to give him a befitting burial.


“They should be jailed for life if, after they retired from playing, they can’t feed themselves,” Ideye stated.
