Event description
The Bundibugyo virus disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo intensified during the past week, with epidemiological indicators suggesting sustained and increasing transmission. The outbreak was characterized by a rising incidence of reported cases, increasing mortality and continued geographic expansion into additional provinces and health zones, indicating ongoing propagation across affected areas. Outside the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the epidemiological situation remained unchanged, with no new cases reported in Uganda or France and no evidence of secondary transmission. Nevertheless, continued geographic expansion and increasing transmission intensity within the Democratic Republic of the Congo elevate the likelihood of cross-border spread and reinforce the need for sustained regional surveillance, preparedness and response measures.
