In the last 24 hours, Uganda has recorded four confirmed cases of Ebola, bringing the cumulative number of confirmed cases to 11, the country’s health ministry reported Friday in a statement. The Ugandan Health Ministry considers a “probable case” as any person who died from suspected EVD and had an epidemiological link to a confirmed case but was not tested and did not have lab confirmation. The ministry considers “confirmed cases” for those with positive lab results.
Providing more details on the spread, the ministry said a total of 58 contacts of the confirmed cases had been traced. Uganda declared an Ebola outbreak on Tuesday after a case of the rare Sudan strain was detected in the country. The patient, now deceased, was a 24-year-old man in the Mubende district. One of the probable Ebola-related casualties was a 1-year-old child, health authorities said in an earlier statement. Uganda has experienced four Ebola outbreaks.
