Official alerts come directly from a government health agency like WHO, CDC, FDA, or a state health department. We link to the original notice so you can read the full text and context.

Question 3

What is the difference between an outbreak alert and a confirmed outbreak?

An alert on OutbreakThreat is a dated notice from an agency or reputable source. It might be an investigation update, a health advisory, or a surveillance report. It is not the same as a final case count or an officially declared outbreak. Agencies refine their wording as investigations continue.
