Reply to comment by NeuroticPsionic in Uganda declares an end to Ebola outbreak by alphahydra
It's the end of a four month long outbreak in humans. Not the total end of Ebola, unfortunately (which has been around much longer than a decade), as there are natural reservoirs of the disease in animals.
The concern with this recent outbreak was it would run out of control and spread more widely than the usual range for Ebola, as happened with monkeypox. The good news is, it has now been contained and that's not going to happen. But Ebola still exists as a pathogen in the wild, and can pose a threat again in future.
