The outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, for which no approved vaccine or treatment exists. The strain carries a fatality rate of 25 to 50% and has primarily affected people aged 20 to 39, with over two-thirds of DRC cases occurring in women.

On May 18, 2026, the CDC and DHS invoked Title 42 — a public health law used only twice in the modern era — to restrict entry into the US from affected regions for at least 30 days. The measure placed limits on non-US passport holders who had traveled to the DRC, Uganda or South Sudan within the prior three weeks.

The US State Department raised its travel advisory for the DRC to Level 4 and warned that the US government was unable to provide emergency services to citizens in Ituri Province. The WHO advised against border closures, saying such measures increase unmonitored crossings that complicate containment efforts.

The U.S. State Department raised its travel advisory for the DRC to Level 4, warning Americans not to travel there. The advisory cited the Ebola outbreak, inadequate local health infrastructure and risks of violent crime, noting the U.S. government cannot provide emergency services in Ituri Province.

The WHO warned that conflict and population displacement in the DRC's Ituri Province complicate containment efforts. A team of 35 experts and roughly seven metric tons of emergency medical supplies arrived in Bunia, the provincial capital, on May 17 to support the frontline response.
