Ebola Outbreak in DRC Becomes Deadliest in Nation's History; US Faces Salmonella Egg Recall

The Democratic Republic of Congo is grappling with its deadliest Ebola outbreak to date, with confirmed cases surpassing 4,900 and a death toll exceeding 2,300. This surpasses the severity of the 2018-2020 outbreak, highlighting ongoing challenges in containment and surveillance within the eastern regions of the country.

In the United States, a significant salmonella outbreak has led to a massive recall of approximately 1.6 million dozen eggs. The Food and Drug Administration has issued its highest-risk warning for the recalled eggs, which have been linked to nearly 100 reported illnesses, underscoring concerns about foodborne pathogens and public health safety.
