Tanzania has dismissed a World Health Organization (WHO) report claiming a suspected outbreak of the Ebola-like Marburg virus in the country’s northwest.

The World Health Organization (WHO) does not recommend imposing trade and travel restrictions on countries with reported cases of mpox and Marburg fever, according to Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Rwanda's Marburg virus outbreak is now "controlled," according to Africa's top public health official, Jean Kaseya, who expressed optimism that the country will emerge from the outbreak soon.
