CDC Warns of Escalating Ebola Outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is monitoring a growing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. Recent data indicates a sharp increase in confirmed cases and fatalities, with projections suggesting it could become one of the largest outbreaks ever if containment efforts are not highly effective. While enhanced travel screenings are implemented, the CDC assesses the risk to the United States public as low.
