France’s health minister announced that the country’s first confirmed Ebola patient has fully recovered and been discharged. The physician, who tested positive after arriving from the Democratic Republic of Congo on June 23, experienced only mild symptoms and left the hospital on July 4. Authorities tracked five fellow passengers on the same flight as potential contacts and placed them under monitoring as a precaution. Meanwhile, the DRC continues to battle an outbreak declared on May 15, with over 1,400 confirmed infections and more than 400 deaths reported by early July. Public health officials remain vigilant with surveillance and contact tracing to prevent further spread.
