## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- The outbreak in eastern Congo was declared on May 15 and has recorded **3,802 cases** and **1,707 deaths** as of the latest government update. - The outbreak is described as the fastest-growing Ebola event, with deaths accumulating faster than in previous large outbreaks. - The Africa CDC reported that roughly **60–70%** of new cases are resulting from community transmission rather than from identified contact chains, and said “contact tracing is not working.” - The outbreak is mostly concentrated in remote **Ituri province**, which accounts for nearly **90%** of cases, though cases have been confirmed in five other provinces including Kisangani. - The causative agent has been linked to the **Bundibugyo virus**, for which there are no approved vaccines or treatments. - Challenges to the response include delays in contact tracing, difficulty accessing affected areas, community mistrust, violence by armed groups and some residents, displacement from armed conflict, and illegal mining interfering with tracing and care. - The WHO is monitoring over **17,000 potential contacts**, with nearly **80%** of them seen daily, and has scaled testing to over **2,000 samples a day**, up from about 20 previously. - Two clinical trials of post-exposure prophylaxis drugs are ongoing in Ituri province, and separate vaccine trials are underway in the United Kingdom and Canada. - Enrollment has begun in a study of two possible Ebola treatments in Ituri. - More than **100 health care workers** have been infected since the beginning of the outbreak; health workers in some towns have staged strikes or issued ultimatums over unpaid wages and dangerous working conditions. - Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya and WHO leadership (including WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus) have visited or planned visits to Bunia, the town near the outbreak epicenter. - Neighboring Uganda declared itself free of Ebola after discharging its last patient in mid-June. - Funding gaps, attacks on health centers, and the ongoing conflict further hamper the response. - Patient zero has not been identified; the identity and source remain unclear in the public reporting provided.

As of Tuesday, 3,802 cases had been recorded, with 1,707 deaths, the latest government update showed. Advertisement It was not clear when the outbreak will reach its peak, Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya said Tuesday during his second visit to the town of Bunia, located near the epicenter of the outbreak in Ituri province. Kaseya pointed out that some 60-70% of the new cases were recorded from spreading within a community, not from contact tracing — a method that traces those who have been in contact with a confirmed case. “Contact tracing is not working,” said Kaseya, “we don’t like the trajectory of this outbreak, and it’s already the second largest outbreak (ever) in the world.” Advertisement Related Story ![](https://www.statnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/AP26162610313423-768x432.jpg) ### [Ebola outbreak nears milestone, while a vaccine remains months away](https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/30/health-news-ebola-outbreak-nears-milestone-but-vaccine-close/) The director-general of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, was expected to arrive in the Congolese capital, Kinshasa, later on Tuesday and would visit Bunia later this week. The outbreak, declared on May 15, has been linked to the [Bundibugyo virus](https://apnews.com/article/ebola-bundibugyo-virus-outbreak-congo-baf5f9861a896ca027a9e40524d42e74) for which there are [no approved vaccines](https://apnews.com/article/congo-ebola-africa-cdc-ituri-a5bfda53dbef567146cc1b39cce6f3f3) or treatments. Delays in contact tracing, difficulties accessing affected areas, mistrust from communities, and violence by armed groups and some residents have hampered the response, the Africa CDC has said. Two clinical trials for post-exposure prophylaxis drugs are ongoing in Ituri province as well as two separate vaccine trials in the United Kingdom and Canada. The outbreak is mostly concentrated in eastern Congo’s remote Ituri province, which accounts for nearly 90% of cases, but cases have also been confirmed in five other provinces, including in one of the country’s largest cities, Kisangani. Neighboring Uganda [declared itself free of Ebola](https://apnews.com/article/uganda-ebola-outbreak-064e8686c420e194638cd095e0bf89f2) following the discharge of the country’s last patient in mid-June. A key challenge is that [patient zero has yet to be identified](https://apnews.com/article/congo-ebola-africa-cdc-ituri-a5bfda53dbef567146cc1b39cce6f3f3) in the outbreak while displacement from armed conflict and illegal mining in the region have made it difficult to trace thousands who have come in contact with infected individuals. The World Health Organization said Tuesday that it was monitoring over 17,000 potential contacts, with nearly 80% of them being seen daily. Related Story ![](https://www.statnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/GettyImages-2187740726-768x432.jpg) ### [New study supports testing of Merck’s Ebola vaccine in DRC outbreak](https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/22/new-study-supports-testing-of-mercks-ebola-vaccine-in-drc-outbreak/) Mohamed Janabi, WHO’s regional director for Africa, told reporters on Tuesday that the U.N. health agency is now testing over 2,000 samples a day, up from 20 previously. On Monday, health care workers in the hard-hit town of Mongbwalu issued an ultimatum over unpaid wages saying that “if nothing is done within 24 hours, we will escalate our action.” Previously, health care workers in Bunia [went on strike over](https://apnews.com/article/ebola-congo-strike-4e61d1c9ae80c892efa38db95a23dd9e) a lack of pay and dangerous working conditions. The WHO says more than 100 health care workers have been infected since the beginning of the outbreak. The latest [outbreak has killed people](https://apnews.com/article/ebola-congo-explainer-outbreak-health-0e482142cbc7b7f3da1c32fd115b49d6) at a quicker rate than any previous outbreak, including in 2014-2016 when 28,000 cases were reported, of which over 11,000 people died. That outbreak took about eight months to reach 1,000 deaths. Advertisement The response is also hampered by a funding gap, attacks on health centers, an ongoing conflict in eastern Congo and mistrust among local communities. Enrollment in [a highly anticipated study](https://apnews.com/article/ebola-bundibugyo-remdesivir-mbp134-congo-7dd42ecd5ff75a4f1e255db26677a778) of two possible Ebola treatments recently started in Ituri. — Prosper Heri Ngorora, Constant Same Bagalwa, and Wilson McMakin [global health](https://www.statnews.com/topic/global-health/), [infectious disease](https://www.statnews.com/topic/infectious-disease/), [public health](https://www.statnews.com/topic/public-health/), [Vaccines](https://www.statnews.com/topic/vaccines/) [Submit a correction request](https://www.statnews.com/contact/?how_can_we_help_=Editorial%20Correction%20Request)[Reprints](https://www.parsintl.com/publications/stat/) 1.
