Speaking during an African Union extraordinary session of the assembly in Accra, Ghana, Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya said the outbreak is spreading at an unprecedented pace amid insecurity, mass displacement and continued community transmission.

Show Text Description
  • The response to this outbreak is challenging due to a number of complex circumstances in the region.
    • Limited health infrastructure, including limited access to healthcare, diagnostic and laboratory services, infection prevention and control supplies, and other basic services make stopping this outbreak more difficult.
    • Ongoing conflict in the area where the outbreak is occurring creates security issues and complicates contact tracing and infection prevention and control.
    • Violence against healthcare workers and shortages of personal protective equipment are leading to healthcare workers becoming infected while treating patients.
    • Frequent population movement and cross-border travel increase the risk of spread to Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda, and to other areas.
    • Lack of trust in the government and misinformation make communicating about Ebola more difficult.
  • CDC is assessing travelers arriving in the United States who have recently been in DRC or Uganda, as well as neighboring South Sudan, for symptoms of and possible exposure to Ebola.
    • On May 18, 2026, CDC, the Department of Homeland Security, and other appropriate federal agencies implemented public health entry screening, entry restrictions, and other public health measures to prevent Ebola disease from entering the United States.
    • An Order continuing the suspension of the right to introduce specified foreign nationals into the United States was issued on July 13, 2026. It will be in effect for 30 days.
  • CDC recommends avoiding non-essential travel to Haut-Uele, Ituri, Nord-Kivu (North Kivu), and Tshopo provinces in DRC. Travelers to other parts of DRC or Uganda should take precautions to avoid Ebola exposure and monitor for symptoms while traveling and for 21 days after leaving.

Ebola in Nia-Nia: Resources requested to keep the laboratory running

July 27, 2026

Nia-Nia, July 26, 2026 (ACP).- Logistical and financial resources were requested on Saturday from the ACP by the chief medical officer of the zone to strengthen the response against Ebola in Nia-Nia, in the territory of Mambasa in Ituri, in the North-East of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

“ We received a generator from the national response coordination. The current problem is the lack of resources to purchase fuel, and the solar system we have is unable to power the laboratory equipment. That is why we are urgently requesting the mobilization of partners and relevant authorities to provide the response teams with the necessary resources to continue laboratory, disinfection, and surveillance activities ,” said Dr. Joseph Pemanakue, Chief Medical Officer of the Nia-Nia health zone.

According to him, this fuel shortage is preventing the generator from powering the laboratory at the Ebola Treatment Center (ETC). This situation is blocking the analysis of samples taken from suspected cases, a crucial step in confirming or ruling out cases of Ebola virus disease.

According to the latest epidemiological bulletin, Dr. Pemanakue revealed that eight samples were still awaiting analysis due to a lack of fuel. Concerned that this blockage would lengthen confirmation times and slow down epidemiological surveillance operations, he also warned of an imminent shortage of chlorine, an essential ingredient for disinfecting healthcare facilities and homes.

“ This shortage could undermine the infection prevention and control measures implemented by the response teams, which are essential to effectively contain the spread of the epidemic ,” he concluded. ACP/DT

North Kivu: Population urged to protect the mobile Ebola rapid diagnostic laboratory in Lubero

Health teams have appealed to the population of Lubero territory, North Kivu, to support and protect the mobile Ebola rapid diagnostic laboratory recently deployed in the region. This equipment, provided by the National Institute of Biomedical Research (INRB), is presented as an essential tool to strengthen the response to the epidemic.

“We have been fortunate to receive a mobile laboratory to facilitate the diagnosis of Ebola virus disease. The population must support this tool and consider it a major asset for the early detection and rapid treatment of patients,” said Kambale Itengero, head nurse at the Ndoluma health center.

Already installed in Kayina, the mobile laboratory will primarily serve the Kayina and Alimbongo health zones. It will significantly reduce the time required to confirm suspected cases, thereby improving the speed of medical interventions and the control of the virus's spread in this part of North Kivu.

Ebola in Kisangani: a woman's suspicious death reported in a commune

July 28, 2026

Kisangani, July 28, 2026 (ACP).- A case of suspected death of a 79-year-old woman, showing signs similar to those of Ebola, has been reported in the Lindi district, in the commune of Mangobo, in Kisangani in the North-East of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the mayor of this municipality announced to ACP on Tuesday.

“ We observed worrying signs on the deceased’s body, including bleeding from several orifices such as the mouth, nose, ears and eyes. We immediately asked the neighborhood chief to prohibit any contact with the body until the intervention of the health teams ,” said Constant Bolamba Saile.

The municipal authority stated that it immediately alerted the provincial health division (DPS) and the local health zone. A team led by the zone's chief medical officer went to the site to implement the required health protocol.

Mr. Bolamba stated that he had instructed the neighborhood chief to identify and trace all individuals who had been in contact with the deceased.

This approach aims to enable medical teams to conduct thorough investigations and find the index case, if the result of the sample taken confirms the presence of the Ebola virus.

Furthermore, the mayor announced that awareness-raising efforts among residents regarding compliance with barrier and prevention measures have been strengthened in the municipality of Mangobo, in order to maintain public vigilance in the face of this health threat.

“ For our part, we are continuing to raise awareness. Every Monday, we receive journalists from local media outlets to relay prevention messages. During our field visits, we also take advantage of every encounter with residents to remind them of the danger of Ebola and call for strict adherence to the guidelines issued by health professionals ,” he emphasized.

This campaign places particular emphasis on adopting barrier gestures, avoiding risky contacts, respecting hygiene rules, and quickly alerting the relevant services in case of suspicious symptoms, such as a persistent fever.

The mayor also praised the involvement of neighborhood, block, and avenue leaders. As community liaisons, they leverage their daily interactions with residents to reinforce preventative measures and encourage community vigilance. ACP/L/Y
