## Resource

Ebola rumors are swirling online, but South Africa’s health officials are clear: no confirmed cases exist in KwaZulu-Natal or anywhere in the country. While the threat isn’t here yet, experts warn that proximity to outbreak zones like the DRC and Uganda means preparedness is critical. Hospitals like Dr. Pixley Ka Isaka Seme Memorial are ready with isolation units and regular drills — part of standard emergency planning, not panic. Lessons from COVID-19 are helping them stay ahead. Surveillance at borders and collaboration with global health bodies keep the country vigilant. Stay informed through official channels, avoid spreading misinformation, and keep up good hygiene habits. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
