(WFP) The Ministry of Health (MoH) now reports 131 confirmed cases and a further 21 probable cases. This is now one of the largest EVD outbreaks in Ugandan history. On a positive note, there hasn’t been a chain of transmission in Kampala since 14 cases were reported there last week. This indicates that contact tracing for EVD is effective since patients are now being identified in the earlier phase of the illness. To date, there are 46 confirmed deaths, 49 recoveries, and 18 infections among healthcare workers. A 21-day lockdown has been in place in the Mubende and Kassanda districts since 15th October, and since 27th October in the Kagadi, Kyegegwa, and Bunyangabu districts. Download Report
