A Level 4 (Do Not Travel) advisory is the strongest possible warning — active conflict, severe crime, terrorism or unstable transport infrastructure.
- Level 1
- Normal precautions
- Level 2
- Increased caution
- Level 3
- Reconsider travel
- Level 4

Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus, Democratic Republic of the Congo & Uganda
What does this mean?›
Two layers feed this score: WHO Disease Outbreak News (acute risk — ebola, mpox, cholera, marburg, etc.) and Global Health Observatory indicators (PM2.5 air quality, life expectancy) for chronic context. Drivers here: elevated PM2.5 (22.9 µg/m³); life expectancy 66.0 yrs.
- Outbreaks
- WHO DON keyword matches (ebola, mpox, cholera…)
- PM2.5
- WHO safe limit 5 µg/m³ · penalty > 35
- Life exp.
- Long-run health context
- ≥ 85
- No active outbreaks or chronic risk
Each indicator is rated 0–100 (higher = safer) and combined per the weighted methodology. Tap "See how this was scored" above the hero for the raw API values used in this country's calculation.
