WHAT’S NEW
High Threat Pathogen Preparedness
In light of the World Health Organization’s declaration of the current Ebola virus disease outbreak (Bundibugyo virus) in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, we encourage health care settings and teams to review available resources and ensure preparedness. Access the provincial resources for high threat pathogens (HTPs) here.
