The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention has warned that Kenya is among 10 African countries at risk of Ebola transmission, as the Bundibugyo outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo approaches 8,000 confirmed cases.
Africa CDC Issues Regional Warning
Africa CDC Director-General Dr Jean Kaseya confirmed that 10 countries face heightened risk, including Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Angola, Burundi, the Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Zambia. The agency has urged these nations to strengthen surveillance, border preparedness and laboratory capacity to detect and contain any imported infection before it establishes local transmission.
Kenya, which has not reported a confirmed case of Bundibugyo Ebola, remains a key concern due to its position on major regional transport routes. Health authorities have maintained enhanced surveillance at points of entry and strengthened preparedness to respond to a possible imported case.
DRC Outbreak Continues to Expand
The DRC has recorded 7,911 confirmed Ebola cases and 3,801 confirmed deaths, giving a case-fatality ratio of about 48 per cent. The outbreak has spread to 63 health zones across seven provinces, with Ituri remaining the main centre of transmission and North Kivu recording a rise in cases.
WHO has reported continued transmission in Haut-Uélé and Tshopo, while South Ubangi has recorded additional cases after becoming the seventh province affected. On Saturday, DRC Health Minister Dr Samuel Roger Kamba met national deputies from South Ubangi to review the health situation and the response to Ebola.
UAE Eases Restrictions on Ugandan Nationals
The United Arab Emirates has lifted the restrictions affecting Ugandan nationals, while measures relating to the DRC and South Sudan remain in place. The UAE introduced the measures on June 6, 2026, suspending the issuance of new visas to nationals of Uganda, the DRC and South Sudan as part of measures to strengthen preparedness against Ebola.
Uganda has lifted out of the immediate outbreak response after completing the required monitoring period without a new case. The change comes as the epidemiological situation in the DRC shows signs of improvement in some indicators, although transmission remains active.
