Dear Donor,
Contact tracing remains one of the most important tools for controlling Ebola.
The latest ECDC update reports that 87.6% of identified contacts were under follow-up across affected provinces in the DRC.
Development Alert continues promoting community cooperation with trained response teams.
Our awareness activities explain why people who have been exposed to confirmed cases may be monitored even when they do not have symptoms.
We encourage families to provide accurate information about contacts and movements and to report symptoms promptly.
This community cooperation helps trained health teams identify potential cases earlier and reduce opportunities for further transmission.
The importance of contact tracing is particularly clear as Ebola continues spreading across multiple geographic areas.
WHO's response includes surveillance, contact tracing, laboratory testing, infection prevention and clinical preparedness.
Development Alert's role is to strengthen the community trust and understanding needed for these systems to function effectively.
Early detection can mean earlier care, faster response and fewer opportunities for transmission.
