Situation board

Current outbreak footprint map

Footprint dots separate DRC outbreak health zones, Uganda confirmed cases and border screening, U.S. travel measures, and Germany evacuation planning so preparedness actions are not counted as local transmission.

Where cases are linked

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

Ituri Province outbreak

32 tracked

The DRC side of the outbreak is centered in Ituri Province, where CDC says 9 health zones are affected. The tracker separates confirmed cases from probable and suspected reports because the case count is changing quickly.

Kampala imported cases

2 tracked

Uganda has reported two confirmed Bundibugyo Ebola cases, including one death, in people who travelled from DRC. Local reporting says 127 contacts linked to the confirmed cases are under monitoring.

Germany medical evacuation planning

1 tracked

CDC says an American exposed while caring for patients in DRC tested positive on 17 May and that CDC and the State Department are working to move the patient and high-risk contacts to Germany for care.

Monitoring and prevention

Kampala imported cases

2 confirmed

Uganda has reported two confirmed Bundibugyo Ebola cases, including one death, in people who travelled from DRC. Local reporting says 127 contacts linked to the confirmed cases are under monitoring.

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. CDC and DHS implemented enhanced screening, entry restrictions, and traveler monitoring for arrivals from DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan.

Democratic Republic of the Congo

Ituri Province outbreak

19.8% reported CFR

The DRC side of the outbreak is centered in Ituri Province, where CDC says 9 health zones are affected. The tracker separates confirmed cases from probable and suspected reports because the case count is changing quickly.

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.
