The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, particularly due to the Bundibugyo strain, which currently has no licensed vaccine or treatment. This situation highlights the importance of adopting life-saving habits learned from previous outbreaks, such as COVID-19. Key practices include regular handwashing, avoiding face touching, maintaining distance from those exhibiting symptoms, and recognizing that staying home when unwell is critical for public health. Additionally, awareness of Ebola's early symptoms—like fever and fatigue—can aid in early detection and improve survival rates. Community involvement is equally important, as effective outbreak control relies on collective action, including safe caregiving and adherence to health guidelines. Finally, trusting verified health information over misinformation is vital to prevent panic and ensure effective response measures.
