Following the extension of the Public Health Emergency of International Concern for the #Ebola Bundibugyo virus outbreak on 18 August, I am issuing updated temporary recommendations under the International Health Regulations for DRC, neighbouring countries and all other countries. The recommendations provide more detailed guidance on surveillance, case detection, infection prevention and control, clinical care, risk communication and community engagement, and include a new section on social measures, mass gatherings and domestic mobility. @WHO will continue to update its guidance as evidence and the situation evolve. www.who.int/news/item/24-08-2026-second-me...
