Officials reported suspected cases and deaths from the virus across several zones. Health officials are working to contain the situation, with nearly 90 deaths reported. This announcement follows confirmation of the first Ebola-related death in neighboring Uganda. WHO sent a team to Ituri earlier this month after suspected cases were reported. This designation is among the organization's highest alert categories and will help coordinate international surveillance and response efforts.
