       SitRep Sep. 9

        Translating from SitRep:

            "For the day of September 9, 2026, 99 new confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), including 29 community deaths, were reported. The confirmed cases are distributed across the provinces of Ituri (47 cases), North Kivu (46), and Haut-Uélé (6). A total of 10 in-treatment-center (ETC) deaths were unfortunately recorded, including 7 in Ituri, 2 in North Kivu, and 1 in Haut-Uélé, bringing the daily total number of deaths to 39.

Additionally, 36 patients were declared cured after obtaining two negative EVD test results (32 in Ituri, 2 in Tshopo, 1 in Haut-Uélé, and 1 in North Kivu).

A cumulative total of 6,942 confirmed cases, including 3,349 deaths, has been recorded in the DRC since the beginning of the outbreak up to September 9, 2026, representing a case fatality rate of 48.2%. Ituri remains the epicenter, concentrating 79.3% of the confirmed cases reported across the 6 affected provinces as well as 47.5% of the new confirmed cases over the past 24 hours.

No new health zones were affected over the past 24 hours. Consequently, 61 out of 151 health zones (40.4%) remain affected across the 6 impacted provinces. Ituri has 28 affected health zones out of 36, followed by North Kivu (16/34), Haut-Uélé (6/13), Tshopo (7/23), South Kivu (1/34), and Bas-Uélé (3/11)."

• Previous tracker: 6342/3072 as of Sept 2.

• INSP via NAMPA Sept 9 relay: 6,757 / 3,267 — gap explained by reporting lag. Need to cite both with dates per Style Guide.

6. Video candidates verified

7. Akregator quiet flags

• Category 1,2,3 active. Category 4 (county zoonotic) quiet except NC + HAN — no new tularemia/plague/anthrax county .gov press releases Sept 2-11. Not necessarily broken, but flag as quiet.
