Uganda has confirmed three additional Ebola virus cases, bringing the total number of infections in the current outbreak to five since the disease was first detected on May 15, 2026.
The Ministry of Health said the new cases include a Ugandan driver, a health worker, and a woman from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a separate outbreak is ongoing and continues to raise regional concern.
Authorities said they are strengthening surveillance, contact tracing, case management, and public awareness campaigns to contain further spread.
Health officials are also monitoring contacts and reinforcing border and transport controls, including the earlier suspension of public transport links with the DRC following initial confirmed cases.
