No outlet in the cluster has provided detailed information on the local response measures being implemented in the Democratic Republic of Congo or the historical context of previous outbreaks in the region, which could offer a more comprehensive understanding of the current situation. This omission reflects a blind spot in the coverage regarding local health infrastructure and preparedness.
