The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola is highly contagious and has already led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on May 17, 2026.
As of Tuesday (May 26, 2026), there are more than 1,000 suspected infections and at least 220 fatalities reported, including seven confirmed cases in Uganda, a reminder that global teamwork really does matter in times like these.
