Ten people died in the outbreak. Swift action ensured 272 contacts were monitored and completed their 21-day follow-up.

WHO and partners supported the government with expertise, resources, and funding to control the outbreak.

While the risk of re-emergence remains, Tanzania’s success shows the power of rapid response and strong community support

Thank you! I wish maga cultists would understand that listening to scientists and spending some resources internationally can stop diseases before they get out of control.

Congratulations to Tanzania. African countries since Ebola shockingly broke out near-simultaneously in Zaire (DRC) and Sudan in 1976 have been the world's bulwark against lethal filoviruses.
In general, they fight it and we don't have to.
Thank you, Africa.
