At least 100 deaths have been reported in an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with more than 390 cases suspected, the head of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention has told the BBC. Jean Kaseya emphasized the urgency by warning that with no approved drugs or vaccines available, the public must adhere strictly to health guidelines, particularly during funerals of Ebola victims. Additionally, the outbreak has seen two confirmed cases and one death reported in Uganda, as stated by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The World Health Organization (WHO) categorized this outbreak, associated with the Bundibugyo virus, as an international emergency. Kaseya urged the public to limit exposure during funeral practices, which have historically contributed to the spread of the virus. In a serious health alert, the WHO indicated that this outbreak could evolve into a larger crisis than currently detected, stressing the importance of cross-border cooperation between DR Congo and Uganda. As neighboring countries like Rwanda bolster screening measures, those involved in the medical response to the epidemic are urgently preparing for possible broader spread. The CDC reported a low risk to the United States but is increasing monitoring and implementing travel advisories for those returning from affected regions.
