WHO Declares End of Ebola Outbreak in Uganda
The World Health Organization has announced the end of the outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola virus in Uganda, after confirming the absence of undetected transmission within the country. The outbreak resulted in 20 confirmed cases and two deaths. Meanwhile, the virus is still spreading in the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, where the number of cases has exceeded 5,600 with over 2,700 deaths, making it the second deadliest Ebola outbreak in history. Despite a slowdown in the spread, containment efforts are still insufficient to halt the progression in Congo, while Uganda has been declared free of the disease since July 28.
