A U.S. citizen, medical missionary Brandi Stafford>>>, contracted the rare Bundibugyo strain of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo>>>, where the outbreak has killed over 130 people and been declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization>>>. Brandi Stafford>>> is being transported to Germany>>> for treatment at Charité>>> University Hospital, which is also preparing to quarantine six other high-risk contacts traveling to Germany>>> and the Czech Republic>>>. The United States — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention>>> is managing the U.S. response, implementing travel restrictions for travelers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo>>>, Uganda>>>, and South Sudan>>>. These restrictions have been criticized by the United States — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention>>>.

Concerns have been raised that cuts to the United States — Centers for Disease Control and Prevention>>> under Donald Trump>>>'s administration and the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization>>> may hamper response efforts.
