Tanzania has announced its first outbreak of the deadly Marburg virus disease (MVD), after five fatalities and three further cases were reported at a hospital in the country’s north-west Kagera region.
Through contact tracing, approximately 161 people have been identified as at risk of infection, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Elon Musk's start-up Neuralink on Thursday said it has gotten approval from US regulators to test its brain implants in people. Neuralink said that clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its first-in-human clinical study is ‘an important first step’ for its technology, which is intended to let brains interface directly with computers.

The first of the three Russian hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested on suspicion of treason will go on trial next week in a case which apparently involves accusations of betraying secrets to foreign adversaries. The criminal case against Anatoly Maslov, 76, will open in Saint Petersburg’s city court on June 1. The St. Petersburg City Court also ruled on May 24 that Maslov's detention would be extended until at least November 10. Soon after his arrest, authorities had flown him to Moscow and put him in pre-trial detention in Lefortovo prison…a former KGB interrogation site where Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is also being held. The details of the case are classified, but some local media reports cited sources close to scientific circles as saying that the three scholars are suspected of handing information related to their research to China.

WHO Declares Mpox Is No Longer , a Public Health Emergency.
On May 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) said its 10-month mpox global health emergency
was coming to an end, Reuters reports. .
The viral disease was first declared a global health emergency in July 2022.
Mpox ultimately spread to
over 100 countries, Reuters reports.
With the public health emergency coming to an end, experts say a transition is necessary for managing long-term mpox health risks. .
For example, rather than utilizing emergency measures, mpox response and preparedness should now be monitored by disease surveillance programs.
Such programs include those for HIV and STIs. .
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, said nearly 90% less mpox cases were recorded within the last three months.
The WHO also recently ended its
public health emergency for COVID. .
However, the director-general warned that the diseases should still be taken seriously.
While the emergencies of mpox and COVID-19 are both over, the threat of resurgent waves remains for both. Both viruses continue to circulate and both continue to kill, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, via statement

COVID Health Emergency , Is Officially Ending, WHO Says.
On May 5, the World Health Organization (WHO) said we are no longer in the midst
of a global COVID emergency.
But the organization still advised the world to take the threat of COVID seriously.
We have arrived at this moment, thanks to the incredible skill and selfless dedication of health and care workers around the world, , Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO's
director-general, via statement.
... the innovation of vaccine researchers and developers, the tough decisions governments have had to make in the face of changing evidence, and the sacrifices that all of us have made, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO's
director-general, via statement.
The worst thing any country could do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or to send the message to its people that COVID 19 is nothing to worry about, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO's
director-general, via statement.
The announcement comes a day after
"the U.N. agency's emergency committee"
held a meeting, CBS News reports.
It's officially been over three years
since the panel first recommended an emergency be declared by the WHO.
America's "public health emergency declaration"
will end on May 11, CBS News reports.
Last month, President Biden signed a GOP-led bill to end the country's "national emergency" over COVID.
In June, many vaccination requirements and
other restrictions will also be altered or ended.
