The Democratic Republic of Congo has reopened Bunia airport in Ituri province, the area most affected by the Ebola outbreak, as health officials report early signs that the epidemic may be slowing. The transport ministry announced the resumption of operations after confirming that screening and surveillance measures were adequate to manage travel risks. Passengers will undergo temperature checks before flights. Despite the reopening, the outbreak has led to 321 confirmed cases and 48 deaths across 23 health zones. Currently, authorities are only monitoring 43% of identified contacts, significantly below the target of 95%. Efforts are underway to enhance treatment and coordination capacities, with three experimental Bundibugyo vaccines entering human trials. Additionally, the National Institute of Public Health is evaluating facilities in Bunia to establish a national Ebola response coordination center, aiming to improve outbreak management across multiple provinces. While officials note a decrease in community transmission, they emphasize that data remains incomplete, indicating the need for ongoing vigilance and support in the region.
