Media reported on 8 May 2018 that public health authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have confirmed two cases of Ebola virus disease in the northwestern town of Bikoro. At least 10 suspected cases are under investigation.
When Ebola outbreaks occur generally the risk of travellers becoming infected or developing Ebola virus disease is extremely low.
Travellers returning from tropical countries should always seek rapid medical attention if they develop flu-like symptoms (such as fever, headache, diarrhoea or general malaise) within three weeks after return, and be reminded to mention to their health care provider that they have recently travelled.
