AGP Executive Report
Last update: 20 minutes agoEbola & World Cup Shock: The US has told DR Congo’s squad it must stay in a “bubble” in Belgium and complete 21 days of isolation before entering the US—otherwise the team could be denied entry—after the outbreak risk was raised by the WHO. DR Congo Holds the Line: Despite the warning, DR Congo says it won’t change its World Cup preparations, with the team still set to base in Houston and play Portugal (June 17), Colombia (June 23) and Uzbekistan (June 27). WHO Escalates the Threat: WHO now rates the Bundibugyo Ebola risk “very high” in DR Congo, noting no approved vaccines or treatments for this strain and warning the outbreak could be much larger than confirmed counts. Hantavirus Update: Separately, WHO says the cruise-ship hantavirus cluster linked to MV Hondius has reached 12 confirmed cases and 3 deaths, with hundreds of contacts under monitoring across countries.
