Ebola Spreads West in Congo | Trinidad and Tobago News

Ebola is spreading alarmingly across seven provinces in Congo, fueled by a rare Bundibugyo strain—and it’s moving westward for the first time, reaching Sud-Ubangi after a 23-year-old traveler with international exposure died there. The virus now threatens neighboring Central African Republic and Congo-Brazzaville, while outbreaks surge in North Kivu and Haut-Uele despite declining cases in Ituri. Security chaos, displaced populations, and health worker strikes are crippling containment efforts. Vaccines for other strains are being rolled out to frontline workers, and clinical trials for a targeted Bundibugyo vaccine are underway—though WHO warns this outbreak could surpass the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic.
