  • Uganda has confirmed an outbreak of the Ebola virus in the capital, Kampala, with the first confirmed patient dying from it, the health ministry said. It is the East African country's ninth outbreak since it recorded its first infection of the viral disease in 2000.

A new outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus has been reported in Uganda, with one confirmed death in the capital city, Kampala. This outbreak adds to the ongoing concerns about the spread of the virus, which has a high mortality rate. The article details the signs and symptoms of Ebola, which include sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache, and sore throat, followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding.

The outbreak has raised alarms about potential further spread in densely populated areas like Kampala, prompting health authorities to enhance surveillance and response measures.
