Here's everything we know about virus.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield warned in a tweet on Tuesday that the "number of cases of severe pneumonia possibly associated with EVD may still be underestimating the true burden of disease for several reasons."
However, because people in many areas with infection in at least one type of case-fatality rate have not seen those rate spike, many of them do not believe EVD is a deadly threat to them.
Many of them have still not learned that during the 2014-2016 West African outbreak, the fatality rate for the virus itself was about 70 percent.
Medical records indicate that the vast majority of patients with EVD in 2020 and 2021 had not received the recommended four doses of the standard treatment for the virus.
Tedros also called for an intensified effort to reach remote areas of the country.
Since 2014, only a handful of health workers and other medical staff from the affected countries have come to the US for special training and specialized treatment. This type of access is especially critical for Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.
There has been a massive amount of surveillance in the US since 2020.
According to the CDC, for example, this means that nearly 99.8 percent of the estimated 1,000 people known to have EVD in the US in 2014 were first notified by their doctors or other health-care providers that they had been exposed to EVD.
In contrast, more than 41 percent of the approximately 18,000 EVD cases during the 2019-2021 outbreak occurred in health care settings.

People with the virus are symptomless, can spread easily, and are "active."
Clinicians in the field commonly report encountering an EVD patient who has symptoms but has already had many contacts with health care workers, or who may not appear sick.
