The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a Level 3 travel health notice advising against nonessential travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo amid a growing Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak affecting both DRC and Uganda. On 17 May 2026, the World Health Organization declared the situation a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. As of 19 May 2026, WHO figures show 30 confirmed cases, over 500 suspected cases, and at least 130 suspected deaths, including healthcare workers. The virus has reached Kampala and Goma, and no approved vaccines or specific antivirals exist for this strain. U.S. authorities have raised Ituri Province to Level 4, and one infected American has been transferred to Germany for specialized care while international agencies expand surveillance, contact tracing, and testing.
