At least 19 people have died, including four health workers since September 20. The first case in the capital, Kampala, was recorded last week.

Ugandan authorities have documented more than 1,100 contacts of known Ebola patients, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. The Sudan strain of Ebola, for which there is no proven vaccine, is circulating in the country of 45 million people.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on Saturday imposed a 21-day travel lockdown on two Ebola-hit districts – Mubende and Kassanda – as part of efforts to stop the spread of the contagious disease.

Ebola, which manifests as a viral haemorrhagic fever, is spread through contact with bodily fluids of an infected person or contaminated materials. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle pain and at times, internal and external bleeding.

Once again women and minorities hardest hit

Well, what have they done about it?

any vaccines being used (whether effective or not, Immaterial)?

masking required (whether effective or not, immaterial)?

Closing down the economy?

Ceasing any and all travel without proper documentation?

Have they appointed their own Fauci?

without affirmation of the above, they are on their own.
