Ugandan authorities on Saturday imposed a travel lockdown on two Ebola-hit districts as part of efforts to stop the spread of the contagious disease.

The measures announced by President Yoweri Museveni mean residents of the central Ugandan districts of Mubende and Kassanda can't travel into or out of those areas by private or public means. Cargo vehicles and others transiting from Kampala, the capital, to southwestern Uganda are still allowed to operate, he said.

All entertainment places, including bars, as well as places of worship are ordered closed, and all burials in those districts must be supervised by health officials, he said. A nighttime curfew also has been imposed. The restrictions will last at least 21 days.

Remember when 0bama let people come back from Africa without quarantine even though they had contact with Ebola patients? I am convinced it was for US health equity with Africa.

I suspect the Biden Admin, like the Obama Admin has no problem letting them into the U.S.

There are no safeguards against any diseases at the southern border.

There is no vaccine for this new variant, but they are doing some testing now.
And it has spread for 3 weeks before they noticed people were getting sick. Lots of people have been exposed.

Ebola is the real deal, and with all of Uganda’s faults they take it VERY seriously.

Lovely, kind people…who will work Mzungu’s (white folks) for every dollar they can get from them.
