Uganda discharges last Ebola patient, ending outbreak

Health officials have reported that the majority of the latest confirmed cases of the ongoing outbreak are linked to travelers arriving from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The observation, released by the national disease surveillance agency on Tuesday, highlights a concentration of infections among individuals who entered the country within the past two weeks, prompting a reassessment of current screening protocols at points of entry.

In response, authorities are expanding temperature checks, enhancing laboratory testing capacity, and issuing targeted advisories to airlines and border officials to identify symptomatic passengers promptly. The agency also urged travelers returning from the Democratic Republic of Congo to monitor their health for any symptoms and to seek medical attention if needed, emphasizing that early detection remains critical to containing further spread.
