Key Points:
- Dr. Peter Stafford, who contracted Ebola while on a humanitarian mission in Congo, has returned to the U.S. and is feeling well after recovering from the disease, having been Ebola-free since May 30.
- Stafford, his wife Rebekah, and their four children all arrived safely in the U.S. after being evacuated and quarantined; none of the family members developed Ebola symptoms.
- Stafford was treated in a Berlin hospital from May 20 to June 6 before returning home, and other missionaries serving in Congo alongside him have also been released and returned to the U.S.
- The Ebola outbreak in Congo, caused by the less common Bundibugyo strain, has spread to Uganda and poses serious challenges as there are no vaccines or treatments available for this strain.
- Stafford expressed gratitude for medical care and prayers, and continues to pray for those affected by the epidemic and efforts to control the disease in Congo.
