The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has initiated a call for volunteers to assist with Ebola screening at U.S. entry points, responding to an outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of the virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. CDC Acting Director Jay Bhattacharya announced the activation of a Level 2 emergency response on May 18, indicating a significant need for additional staffing to manage the outbreak. Enhanced screening efforts are currently in place at various port health stations, necessitating personnel across multiple roles, including public health advisers and licensed medical providers. Volunteers will be tasked with monitoring incoming travelers for symptoms, checking temperatures, and referring suspected cases for further evaluation. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified this outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern, marking it as the third-largest outbreak of its kind recorded, with 220 suspected deaths reported by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The rapid spread of the virus is outpacing current response efforts.
