As we reported, this dread disease presents much like an Ebola infection. Tragically, it is fatal more than 60% of the time, as there are no approved therapeutics, and no approved vaccines. So -- being on the end of this cycle is very good news. We will keep you posted, here -- but this is the latest, locally -- overnight:
. . .Addis Abeba: The Ministry of Health announced that no new cases of Marburg Virus Disease (MVD) have been detected in Ethiopia over the past 21 days, signaling progress in containing the outbreak, though authorities warned that the outbreak will only be officially declared over after 42 consecutive days without new infections.
In a statement released on 5 January 2026, the Ministry said that since the outbreak was confirmed in the South Ethiopia Region on 14 November 2025, laboratory tests have been conducted for 3,800 people. Among these, 14 tested positive for the virus, resulting in nine deaths and five recoveries, according to the Ethiopian Public Health Institute. . . .
Now you know. . . onward, smiling.
