Africa’s public health agency, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), confirms a new Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s remote Ituri province. Multiple outlets report that at least 65 people have died so far, and 246 cases are suspected. The Africa CDC’s confirmation is also cited by other reports as coming in the context of an ongoing response and prior preparedness measures from the World Health Organization (WHO). Coverage notes that, during Congo’s previous Ebola outbreak, WHO said the country had a stockpile of treatments and about 2,000 doses of vaccine, underscoring existing capacity that may be drawn on for the current event. Reports also state that the deaths and suspected cases are concentrated in specific health zones, including Mongwalu and Rwampara, according to Africa CDC. Several outlets describe the outbreak as Ebola’s spread through direct contact with bodily fluids such as blood and vomit, and semen, consistent with standard public health guidance. Authorities are expected to coordinate response efforts as additional information about confirmed cases and transmission emerges.
