The Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak has now surpassed 1,300 confirmed cases. Health experts warn there is an estimated 70% risk of the virus spreading to another country, while the outbreak has already resulted in the first reported case outside Africa, raising concerns about international containment.

🚨 DR Congo has officially banned mass gatherings in Kinshasa as part of emergency measures to help curb the spread of Ebola.

The most important thing to remember is that these are officially reported Ebola numbers. The actual number of cases could be significantly higher due to underreporting, delays in detection, and limited surveillance in some affected areas.

🚨 Ebola outbreak update • Cases: 1,295 (+71) • Deaths: 362 (+39) The steady rise in both infections and fatalities highlights the seriousness of the outbreak. Health authorities are racing to contain the spread, making the coming weeks critical for preventing further escalation.

⚠️ Ebola poses a particularly serious risk during pregnancy. Infection can be life-threatening for pregnant women and is associated with a very high risk of pregnancy loss or newborn death, underscoring the importance of early detection and medical care.
