Uganda has declared an end to the country’s 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 Wednesday, January 30,2025 after the death of a male nurse who tested positive for the virus. The Health Ministry said in a post on the X platform: “Good news! The current Ebola Sudan Virus Disease outbreak has officially come to an end”. It added the declaration of the end of the outbreak followed 42 days “without a new case since the last confirmed patient was discharged”.
For more on this, we’re joined on the line by Channel Africa News Correspondent in Uganda, Mike Arereng.
