Yes, Ebola still exists. While the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the deadliest in history, there have been additional cases since then. In 2018, there was an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) that lasted until June 2020. This outbreak included more than 3,500 cases and more than 2,200 deaths.
The DRC is still dealing with sporadic Ebola cases, and it is likely that more will occur. The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the risk of Ebola spreading to other countries is “very high”. This is due to the ongoing civil unrest in the DRC, which makes it difficult to contain the virus in the affected areas.
The WHO has been working with local health authorities to respond to the outbreak and is monitoring the situation closely. They have implemented measures such as contact tracing, vaccination campaigns, and emergency response teams to help contain the spread of the virus.
Ebola is a serious disease that can be fatal if not treated properly. It is caused by a virus that can spread through contact with body fluids. Symptoms usually include fever, severe headache, muscle pain, and vomiting. In some cases, it can cause bleeding and organ failure. It is important to seek medical attention if you think you may have been exposed to Ebola.
