Ethiopia says it is increasing preparedness and surveillance measures to prevent a possible Ebola outbreak as cases rise in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. The Health Ministry confirmed that no Ebola cases have been detected in Ethiopia so far.
Authorities are strengthening border screening, airport surveillance, healthcare readiness, laboratory capacity, and medical supply systems. The Africa CDC and WHO say the outbreak in Congo and Uganda is expanding rapidly, with more than 900 suspected cases and over 200 suspected deaths reported.
Health experts say Ebola spreads through direct contact with infected bodily fluids and can cause symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and severe bleeding in critical cases.
