TOPSHOT - Workers from the Uganda Red Cross Society don protective suits as they prepare to evacuate the body of a suspected Ebola victim in Kampala on May 26, 2026. The organisation is poised to assist the Ministry of Health in transporting suspected cases to treatment centres and conducting safe, dignified burials following confirmed positive results. This action comes after the confirmation of three additional Ebola Bundibugyo cases , raising the total to five linked to travelers from the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where an outbreak has claimed 119 lives among 904 suspected cases. The World Health Organisation has classified this outbreak in both the DRC and Uganda as a public health emergency of international concern. (Photo by Badru KATUMBA / AFP via Getty Images)
(WBAP/KLIF) – Tarrant County Public Health is monitoring travelers who have returned to the county from countries affected by the Ebola outbreak in east and central Africa. The agency is working with the CDC and Texas Department of State Health Services to screen and educate these travelers. While the risk of Ebola in Tarrant County and the U.S. remains low, travelers are being monitored for symptoms for three weeks after leaving the affected areas. So far, no symptoms have been reported, and the monitoring does not indicate that Ebola is spreading in the community.
