As of the latest update, there have been 1,759 confirmed cases and 600 deaths since the outbreak was declared in mid-May. The outbreak, caused by the Bundibugyo virus, is spreading more rapidly than previous epidemics, including the deadly 2013–2016 West African outbreak.

A clinical trial testing new treatments for the Bundibugyo virus is underway.
