This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point between market creation and September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET., a confirmed case of Ebola is reported in a country that had not reported any confirmed Ebola case in the current outbreak as of market creation. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The "current outbreak" is the Bundibugyo ebolavirus outbreak declared by the DRC on May 15, 2026. A "qualifying country" is any country other than the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, or France, each of which had recorded at least one confirmed case attributable to this outbreak as reported by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) https://www.cdc.gov/ebola/situation-summary/index.html. A "confirmed case" is a laboratory-confirmed Bundibugyo ebolavirus infection attributed to the current outbreak. A case counts for whichever country the qualifying source assigns it to in its reporting, regardless of where exposure, symptom onset, or specimen collection occurred. Resolution turns on the date a qualifying source publishes the confirmation — not the date of exposure, onset, or laboratory result. A report published after the deadline does not count even if the infection occurred earlier. The primary resolution sources for this market will be official information from the relevant national and international health authorities, including CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO); however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting will also suffice.The ongoing Ebola outbreak driven by Bundibugyo virus remains confined to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda since its May confirmation, with case counts exceeding 4,500 but no verified spread to additional nations in recent weeks. Robust international containment efforts, including rapid response from health agencies and focused surveillance in remote zones, have curbed wider transmission risks amid the current timeline to October 1. Traders see the 72.5% implied probability for "No" as reflecting this containment momentum and historical patterns where similar outbreaks stayed regionally limited without rapid new-country jumps, though any undetected border case could still shift sentiment ahead of the deadline.
