The World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned on Thursday that the Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC continues to expand, with 1,406 confirmed cases and 438 deaths, as violence and mistrust threaten efforts to contain the virus.

The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has reacted to new U.S. travel advisories and entry restrictions linked to the Bundibugyo Ebola virus outbreak, warning against the use of broad travel bans during public health emergencies.
