Ebola outbreak in DR Congo's Ituri province

Health officials are working to contain a new Ebola outbreak in the DRC of a virus strain with no known vaccine.

#Ebola: New outbreak in NE DRC, in Ituri province, where the large 2018-2020 outbreak took place. Security issues there make responses challenging. DRC has announced this one is caused by the Bundibugyo species of Ebola. Only 2 previous Bundibugyo outbreaks (2007, 2012). No licensed vaccine for it.

More bad infectious disease news: “Africa's top health agency has declared an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern Ituri province. Around 246 cases and 80 deaths have been reported”

Tragic to hear about the Ebola outbreak in DRC currently. The strain has no vaccine unfortunately.

At least 65 people have died in a new outbreak of the Ebola virus has been declared in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, African health officials said, with neighbouring Uganda also confirming one related death.

This Ebola outbreak seems quite bad - and it’s occurring in the same area that pro govt militias just massacred a bunch of people so I kinda doubt the response is going to be very effective

this outbreak is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. it’s clearly already been spreading for weeks. little to no US support. WHO is strapped. no vaccine/mAbs like ebola zaire. it’s going to be a bad one. (again, not bad like covid/flu pandemics. i mean in the context of ebola outbreaks)

Deadly Virus Resurges Africa's top public health officials yesterday confirmed an Ebola outbreak in a northeastern province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. At least 246 suspected cases and 65 deaths have been reported, with four deaths definitely linked to Ebola via lab testing.

Are we ready for another pandemic? I don’t think we acted on lessons learned from the last one, and defunding the WHO and USAID has not helped. www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...

Ebola outbreak in Africa is 'public health emergency of international concern': WHO Source: ABC News Tag your it Trump.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak spreading across the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), the highest level of global health alert under international law.

Pray that the Ebola outbreak in the Congo does not morph into a #pandemic. President #Trump proved in his first term that ignorance plus arrogance is a deadly combination. #Covid-19

We're watching yet another deadly outbreak unfold. We can thank RFKJ for gutting our vaccine programs. I'm betting his response will be some version of "Your body's got this—no need to worry." Yah, tell that to the 87 people that just died from Ebola. www.npr.org/2026/05/16/g...
