| CDC Health Advisory:
Ebola Outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
September 18, 2025

|
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Health Advisory about a new outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). EVD is severe and often fatal.
|
Currently, no suspected, probable, or confirmed EVD cases related to this outbreak have been reported in the United States or outside of the DRC. The risk of spread to the United States is considered low at this time. Access to the outbreak region is difficult, and there are no direct flights between the DRC and the United States. However, travelers from affected areas in the DRC might enter the United States on flights connecting through other countries.
|
Healthcare providers should be alert for patients with symptoms compatible with EVD and recent travel to affected areas.
