Travel restrictions and quarantines implemented after France confirms first case of incurable deadly virus | 25 June 2026 | Travel restrictions have been ramped up after France confirmed its first case of Ebola this week. The Democratic Republic of Congo, which is battling an outbreak of a rare strain of Ebola, has imposed a 21-day quarantine for anyone returning from Ebola-affected areas before they can travel abroad. The restrictions come after France reported its first imported case of Ebola linked to the current outbreak. The outbreak is being driven by the Bundibugyo strain, which has up to a 50 percent mortality rate. Government data released Wednesday reported 1,118 Ebola cases and 291 deaths, making this Ebola outbreak the second largest on record, according to the CDC.
