The World Health Organization (WHO) has significantly reduced the count of suspected Ebola cases in central Africa, reporting only 116 suspected cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as of May 31, down from over 900. The total confirmed cases have risen to 330, with 48 fatalities. The outbreak, which began on May 15 in Ituri province, has also seen nine confirmed cases in neighboring Uganda, including one death. WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier explained that many suspected cases were cleared after testing negative for Ebola, often revealing other illnesses like malaria or meningitis. This fluctuation in suspected cases is expected as testing continues. Additionally, the previous count of suspected deaths related to Ebola has been removed due to uncertainty about their causes. Six individuals confirmed to have had Ebola have recovered, but there is currently no vaccine or approved treatment for the Bundibugyo strain of the virus, making preventive measures essential for containment.
