Ebola Cases Spike in Uganda

Over the weekend, Uganda saw nine new Ebola cases in the Kampala metropolitan region as of Sunday, as well as two other positive cases on Friday. This is a troubling increase since the outbreak was declared just over a month ago in the Kampala metropolitan area, a remote part of the country. Since September 20th of 2022, there have been 75 cases of Ebola; this includes 28 deaths and 19 active cases. This is a challenging situation for healthcare workers, as the outbreak is "rapidly evolving," according to a World Health Organization official in Africa.
