New incident of Ebola in Uganda - report

The World Health Organization has reported a new incident of Ebola in Uganda, according to reports.

A fishmonger vomited at Mpondwe market in Uganda on July 11 before dying of Ebola in Democratic Republic of Congo, an incident that could spread the disease in Uganda, the World Health Organization reported on Wednesday. WHO said in a report that about 590 fishmongers at the market could be targeted for vaccination, and it had yet to establish the woman's movements or who had transported her or her goods.

A few days ago, authorities in Uganda were reported to say the country's healthcare system was finally successful in stemming further spread of the deadly Ebola virus that killed at least three people in Kasese, a border district with the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has been battling it over the past 11 months. The US government also announced close to $100 million in aid to the DRC government to bolster efforts to contain the outbreak. The contribution raises hope that the epidemic will be controlled.
