The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Bundibugyo species of Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus indicated the outbreak likely began a couple of months ago, with the first known case being a nurse who died in Bunia on 24 April. Current figures show 600 suspected cases and 139 suspected deaths, with 51 confirmed cases in the DRC (primarily in Ituri and North Kivu provinces) and two in Uganda (patients who had travelled from the DRC). This marks the 17th Ebola outbreak in the DRC and the first for the Bundibugyo species in over a decade. While the WHO assesses the global risk as low, the national and regional risks are high. Complicating containment efforts is ongoing conflict in eastern DRC. There is no approved vaccine or specific treatment for the Bundibugyo species, though experimental vaccines and cross-protection from Zaire species vaccines are being considered.

Tatum's absence comes one year after he suffered a torn Achilles in his right leg.
