Uganda's health minister declared the country Ebola-free on Tuesday following the East African nation's latest outbreak of the viral hemorrhagic disease that infected 20 people and killed two of them.⁣
⁣
Fifteen people in the latest outbreak, declared in mid-May, were infected in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo - the epicenter of the epidemic, where the number of confirmed cases now stands at more than 3,000.⁣
⁣
The last Ebola patient in Uganda, a Congolese national, was discharged on June 22. That is short of the 42-day waiting period required by the World Health Organization to declare the end of an outbreak.⁣
⁣
But Health Minister Chris Baryomunsi said the announcement follows the "successful completion of the mandatory 42-day monitoring period which began after the discharge of the last Ugandan national, a locally transmitted patient, on the 16 of June, 2026".⁣
