School Measures in Ituri: DRC Health Minister Roger Kamba said schools will not be closed, pushing preventive steps instead after reports of deaths among students linked to self-medication and delayed care. Uganda Watch: Uganda has recorded confirmed cases tied to the DRC outbreak, with health authorities emphasizing early treatment and referral. Regional Governance: Kenya’s court suspended a US-backed Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia, while Health CS Aden Duale defended the plan.
