Uganda Declares End To Latest Ebola Outbreak

Uganda yesterday declared an end to the countrys latest outbreak of Ebola , three months after authorities confirmed cases of the highly infectious and often fatal viral hemorrhagic infection in the capital Kampala.

The East African country announced its latest outbreak on January 30 after the death of a male nurse who tested positive for the virus.

It added the declaration of the end of the outbreak followed 42 days without a new case since the last confirmed patient was discharged.

In the post, the ministry did not give the latest total caseload recorded during the outbreak.

In early March, when the ministry last reported on the caseload, it said at least ten cases had been recorded with two deaths.
