“Uganda today declared the end of the Ebola disease outbreak, less than three months after the virus was confirmed in the capital Kampala.
During this outbreak, 14 cases, 12 confirmed and two not confirmed through laboratory tests (probable), were reported.
A total of 534 people were identified as having been in contact with the confirmed and probable cases and were closely monitored.
This was Uganda’s second Ebola outbreak in less than three years.
The country’s long-standing experience in managing outbreaks enabled a fast, coordinated, and effective response.”From World Health Organization.
