Ebola Alarm Escalates in Congo-Uganda: WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus says the “scale and speed” of the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak is deeply concerning, with DRC reporting about 131 deaths and 500+ suspected cases, and Uganda confirming two cases (one fatal). WHO has convened an emergency committee and warns the response could be lengthy because there’s no approved vaccine or treatment for this strain. Travel Warnings Tighten: The US has issued Level 4 “Do Not Travel” guidance for Uganda and DRC (and South Sudan), while Canada advises avoiding Ituri province and rechecks World Cup-related importation risk. Border and Screening Moves: Indonesia has stepped up monitoring at entry points; Bahrain suspended entry from three Ebola-affected countries for 30 days; and the Philippines says it’s ready, preferring screening over blanket travel bans. Local Impact: In Congo’s Ituri, health workers are setting up treatment and protective measures as cases spread beyond the first hotspot.
