Ebola in Callas, Texas: Current Status and Reliable Information Sources

As of my knowledge cutoff (April 2024), there have been no confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease in Callas, Texas, or any Texas community outside of the 2014 Dallas hospital-associated cases.

Ebola is not endemic in the United States. Cases occur only via:

• Imported infection from travelers returning from active outbreak zones.
• Laboratory exposures (extremely rare).

How to Get Current, Accurate Information

For real-time updates on any infectious disease in a specific location:

• Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS): dshs.texas.gov
• CDC Ebola Virus Disease page: cdc.gov/vhf/ebola
• Local county health department websites.

Always rely on official public health authorities for outbreak information. Social media and unofficial sources often spread misinformation.
