On May 29, 2026 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) held a briefing to update the public on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda. CDC officials said the outbreak is rapidly evolving but the risk to the United States remains low. The agency is supporting affected countries with epidemiology, laboratory work and operational assistance and has deployed more than 230 staff worldwide, including 54 personnel conducting enhanced travel screening at four U.S. airports. CDC’s priorities include stopping transmission at the source, supporting neighboring nations and maintaining domestic readiness through exit screening and entry restrictions. The agency continues to coordinate with federal partners to control the outbreak and protect U.S. residents.
