Situation board

Current outbreak footprint map

Footprint dots separate DRC outbreak provinces and health zones, Uganda cases and border screening, the imported France case, and U.S. travel measures so preparedness actions are not counted as local transmission.

Case, care, and surveillance geography

Confirmed-care points are kept separate from border screening, travel measures, and health-zone investigation rows.

Confirmed-care and cluster locations

DRC outbreak provinces

3360 tracked

CDC reports 3,360 confirmed Bundibugyo Ebola cases and 1,487 confirmed deaths in DRC as of 27 July 2026. Confirmed cases span Haut-Uele, Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, and Tshopo provinces. DRC does not include probable cases in its official reporting, and suspected counts remain excluded pending investigation and data standardization.

Kampala imported cases

20 tracked

Uganda reports 20 confirmed Bundibugyo Ebola cases and 1 probable case, including 2 confirmed deaths and 1 probable death, as of 28 July 2026. WHO says Uganda's last confirmed case was identified on 21 June, all cases were in the Kampala metropolitan area, and no community transmission was documented.

France outbreak-linked imported case

1 tracked

France reports one laboratory-confirmed Bundibugyo Ebola case linked to the DRC outbreak. WHO says the patient was a doctor returning from work in Ituri Province who self-reported symptoms on arrival and was immediately isolated; CDC reports no death associated with the French case.

Monitoring and prevention

Uganda-DRC border screening

8 districts

Screening and surveillance were intensified in Hoima, Buliisa, Kagadi, Fort Portal, Kikuube, Pakwach, Nebbi, and Arua because of cross-border movement from DRC.

U.S. travel and port-health measures

3 countries screened

CDC says no U.S. cases have been confirmed because of this outbreak and U.S. public risk remains low. CDC and DHS implemented enhanced screening, entry restrictions, and traveler monitoring for arrivals from DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan.

Democratic Republic of the Congo

DRC outbreak provinces

44.3% reported CFR

CDC reports 3,360 confirmed Bundibugyo Ebola cases and 1,487 confirmed deaths in DRC as of 27 July 2026. Confirmed cases span Haut-Uele, Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, and Tshopo provinces. DRC does not include probable cases in its official reporting, and suspected counts remain excluded pending investigation and data standardization.

Outbreak facts

CDC and WHO context

Medical and operational context is separated from case totals so preparedness actions do not inflate outbreak counts.

Transmission

Direct contact risk

Ebola disease spreads through direct contact with blood or body fluids of a person sick with or dead from Ebola, contaminated objects, or infected animals. It is not contagious until symptoms appear.

Bundibugyo virus

No approved strain-specific vaccine

CDC says there is no vaccine for Bundibugyo virus and that treatment consists of supportive care. WHO says there are no approved Bundibugyo-specific vaccines or therapeutics.

Risk

High regional, low global

WHO says risk is high at national and regional levels but low globally. CDC says the risk to the American public and travelers remains low.

This tracker follows the active Bundibugyo Ebola disease outbreak in DRC, Uganda, and the outbreak-linked imported case in France. Counts change quickly as ministries reconcile confirmed, probable, fatal, and investigation records; suspected DRC counts are currently excluded from CDC totals pending standardization.
