The cross-border spread raises the risk of further transmission across Central and East Africa, particularly where health systems are under strain and movement between affected communities remains high. The development comes as Africa CDC prepares an emergency summit and international agencies work to identify contacts, support treatment, and limit misinformation. Exact case totals and the identities of the other affected countries were not provided in the available reports.
