Description
The Ugandan Ministry of Health has confirmed the first death from Ebola since 2019, an instance of the Sudan strain, in Mubende district, 150 kilometers west of the capital Kampala. A 24-year-old male "presented with EVD symptoms and later succumbed", the ministry announced on Twitter on Tuesday. There are six suspected deaths in the same family, but the virus cannot be confirmed as the bodies have been buried. "I want to assure the public and the international community that Uganda is well-known for handling epidemics" says the Health Ministry's Permanent Secretary, Dr. Diana Atwine during a press conference.
