Uganda Response Tightens: Uganda confirmed two imported Bundibugyo Ebola cases; one patient died, the other is recovering, with 127 contacts placed under quarantine and border measures, screening, and limits on cross-border transport and gatherings stepped up. Travel Rules Hit the Headlines: The U.S. is routing all travelers returning from DR Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan through Washington Dulles for enhanced screening, after an Air France flight to Detroit was diverted to Montreal when a passenger boarded “in error.” Regional Alarm Spreads: WHO says risk is high regionally, while countries including South Korea have raised travel alerts for Uganda; meanwhile, Congo’s World Cup preparations have been disrupted by the outbreak and related restrictions.
