The selected Congolese team will enter a 21-day isolation to avoid infection with the Ebola virus before traveling to the United States for the World Cup.

The White House announced that the selected Congolese team must be isolated for 21 days to prevent infection with the Ebola virus before they can participate in the World Cup in the United States, scheduled to start soon. Andrew Giuliani, the head of the White House team responsible for the event, emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the team's 'bubble', which is currently in a training camp in Belgium.

If other individuals join the team, they must have a separate bubble to avoid the risk of contamination. The Congolese are preparing for matches in Group K, having encounters with Portugal, Colombia, and Uzbekistan.

The World Health Organization has issued an international health alert due to a new outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the epidemic risk is considered 'very high', with 82 confirmed cases and several deaths. Ebola is an extremely contagious disease that has caused thousands of deaths in Africa in recent decades.
