Should U.S. businesses in Angola plan to relocate their employees to areas outside of that country?
There is no evidence to suggest that employees of American companies in Angola are at increased risk for Marburg virus infection. As of April 9, 2005, the outbreak was still focused in Uige province. In addition, two confirmed cases and several suspected cases of Marburg virus infection had been confirmed in Luanda, and additional suspected cases had occurred only in the following provinces (all located in the northwestern part of the country): Cabinda, Kuenza Norte, Kuanza Sul, Malange, and Zaire. The likelihood of contracting Marburg virus infection is considered extremely low unless there has been travel to the affected areas and direct contact with the blood or body fluids (e.g., saliva, urine) of symptomatic infected persons or animals, or with objects that have been contaminated with body fluids of symptomatic infected persons or animals.
