Since July 2019, the Ebola outbreak has been successfully contained in several health zones in the DRC. Key public health achievements include an expansion of screening and contact tracing, strengthened infection prevention and control (IPC) operations, strengthening of Points of Entry, and intensified preparedness efforts in neighbouring countries. WHO continues to adapt its response efforts to a changing and challenging situation on the ground. This has included the implementation of new security measures to protect healthcare workers and improve community trust, as well as the development and deployment of the new field data collection tool Go.Data.
