DASA is monitoring official public-health updates on the Ebola disease outbreak caused by Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, including regional coordination involving South Sudan.

This update is part of preparedness awareness. DASA is reviewing public sources and Arcede's public monitoring map as a situational awareness resource for understanding regional signals, cross-border readiness needs, and implications for community health preparedness in South Sudan.

Arcede's map is also a methodological contribution for outbreak visibility: it shows how public, source-linked signals can be organized geographically to make emerging regional risk easier to see, discuss, and verify.

Official sources remain authoritative

The map and this update are for situational awareness only. They are not an official risk assessment and do not replace guidance from the South Sudan Ministry of Health, WHO, Africa CDC, or other public-health authorities.
