EBOLA death toll in Uganda rises

648

Uganda’s health ministry said three more Ebola patients have died, bringing the total to four since the outbreak was declared earlier this week.

Eleven cases have been confirmed in Uganda.

Seven other deaths are being investigated to determine if they are related to the outbreak in Mubende, west of the capital Kampala.

Between 2018 and 2020, the EBOLA epidemic in Uganda’s neighboring country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, killed 2,000.
