Trader consensus on no Ebola pandemic in 2026 reflects the current large but regionally contained Bundibugyo virus outbreak centered in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and limited imported cases in Uganda. As of mid-August 2026, confirmed cases exceed 4,600 with over 2,100 deaths, making it the second-largest Ebola event on record after sustained transmission since May, yet official CDC and WHO assessments rate the risk of spread to the United States or other continents as very low due to remote geography, infection-control measures, and absence of sustained international chains. No cases have reached the U.S., and Uganda has ended its outbreak. A realistic shift could occur if undetected urban seeding or increased transmissibility enabled broader exportation before full containment.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if the World Health Organization explicitly characterizes Ebola virus disease, Ebola, any Ebola strain, or any outbreak of ebola as a “pandemic” in an official public communication between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
An explicit characterization includes official WHO statements, reports, press briefings, or publications that clearly describe the outbreak as a “pandemic.” A Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) alone will not qualify unless it is also described as a pandemic.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official WHO communications. A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Trader consensus on no Ebola pandemic in 2026 reflects the current large but regionally contained Bundibugyo virus outbreak centered in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and limited imported cases in Uganda.
