Misleading Statements?

Excerpts from here:

Two people have died and 203 people have been hospitalized following a typhoid outbreak in Kelantan that has sparked a public health scare, reports said today.

State health director Ahmad Razin Ahmad Maher said the outbreak detected three weeks ago was becoming critical but was still under control. He said the department had taken immediate steps to control the disease including conducting large-scale operations at eateries and business premises.


Say what? The outbreak detected three weeks ago was becoming critical but was still under control? Isn't that a bit contradicting? How can something be under control yet becoming critical? I'm no doctor but you tell me what's that suppose to mean?
