Two more cases of Ebola detected in Uganda: WHO
KAMPALA, June 12, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Uganda has confirmed two further cases
of Ebola, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Wednesday, after the death
of a five-year-old boy in the first spread of a deadly outbreak in
neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
“Two more samples were sent to UVRI (Uganda Virus Research Institute) and
have tested positive. We, therefore, have three confirmed cases of Ebola in
Uganda,” the WHO Uganda posted on its Twitter account, citing a briefing from
Ugandan Health Minister Ruth Aceng in Kasese in the country’s west.
