On Wednesday, Yoweri Museveni, the country’s president, told Ugandans that the outbreak was under control. “The government has the capacity to control this outbreak as we have done before. Therefore, there is no need for anxiety, panic, restriction of movement or unnecessary closure of public places,” he said in a televised address.
However, Dr Christopher Mambula, programme manager for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Uganda, said the situation was “very serious”. Cases were rising daily and it was still unclear how widely the virus had spread, he said, adding that the lack of a vaccine to treat the strain of Ebola responsible for the outbreak – the Sudan virus – was a concern.
...
“In terms of the contacts and the spread, if you have spread in five [regions], or more than one place, it begs the question what is the chain of transmission between those different cases, is it one person who went on to contaminate other people or was it that there was something like a super-spreader event, like a funeral, where not just one person got contaminated but several,” said Mambula.
“Until we get the indication otherwise, I would say this is very serious,” he said. “The reality is especially when you look at the incubation period, which is generally up to three weeks, it’s possible to go a week without seeing a case then suddenly 50 cases come up in one day.
“It’s still very early days and it looks like it’s increasing and not decreasing. As of today, there’s nothing to say it’s in control.”

Minister Aceng blocks UVRI from Ebola testing
Monday, October 10, 2022
...
By Dan Wandera, Barbra Nalweyiso & Tonny Abet
The Minister of Health, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, has blocked Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) from overseeing the testing of the Ebola virus, this newspaper has learnt.
Highly placed sources in the government confirmed to this publication that the minister has given the powers of testing of Ebola to Kampala-based Central Public Health Laboratories (CPHL), which is directly under the Health ministry.
UVRI, the country’s top virus research centre, is mandated by the government to monitor and conduct research on viral diseases and other infectious agents.
...
Prof Pontiano Kaleebu, the UVRI director, when asked about the orders from the minister, said: “I don’t want to talk about that issue.”
However, Prof Kaleebu also said they have been doing research on suspected Ebola patients and that through this, recently, they were able to detect the second case of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF). Still, in the Mubende meeting, Dr Aceng banned the double sample collection from Ebola suspects.
...
“It has come to my notice that two blood samples are still taken from a single patient at the ETU. This must stop. The government will not entertain a second party trying to manipulate and interfere by way of research through unauthorised means. It is one blood sample per person,” Dr Aceng said.

Inside the UVRI, MoH fight over Ebola testing
Tuesday, October 11, 2022
By Tonny Abet
The disagreement between Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) and the Health Ministry over disease surveillance mandates and associated deals, has deepened, sparking confusion in Ebola Virus testing.
The disagreement, which has been brewing over the years, according to sources in government, explains the move by the Health Minister, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, to block the UVRI from conducting research on Ebola patients and overseeing the testing of Ebola at a time when the country is struggling to contain the outbreak.
...
Another source said: “When the UVRI detected Ebola, the officials at the ministry ordered that the information shouldn’t come out until the President is informed about it. And it was the Ministry to declare the outbreak.”
But the information was leaked and this publication was able to break the story before the official announcement by the Ministry, an action which sources within the Ministry said angered the officials.

Forty-two people who he may have come into contact with have been identified and are being followed up.
... Dr Aceng added that there are currently no other confirmed Ebola cases in Kampala, although the city and surrounding districts are considered high risk.

How Ebola victim moved from Mubende to Kampala
Wednesday, October 12, 2022
...
By Monitor Team
...
According to information from the Health ministry and members of the Ebola taskforce, the deceased escaped from Mubende about a week ago and went to Luweero District. He later went Natete in Kampala.
On October 6, he was taken to Kiruddu Hospital where he died on October 7. He was buried in Mubende.
“This gentleman was a contact who was listed but run away to seek treatment from a traditional healer. When it didn’t work, he requested to be brought to Kiruddu hospital,” the Health Minister, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, said yesterday in Entebbe.
Dr Aceng added that the man changed his name to avoid being arrested. She said the ministry only got to learn that he was the escapee when he was taken back for burial in Mubende.
“The leaders in Mubende intercepted the team that had taken the body and identified the man as the one who was on our list, a sample confirmed that he had Ebola,” she said.
Ms Rosemary Byabashaija, the Mubende Resident District Commissioner (RDC), who heads the district’s Ebola taskforce, said between the months of September and October seven people from the man’s family have died from Ebola-like symptoms. Some were confirmed to have died of Ebola.
She added that members of the family don’t want to go to the hospital.
Fifteen people from the same family have been taken into forced isolation after resisting and attacking the Ebola surveillance and burial team.

EBOLA: 15 picked and forced into isolation
The Independent October 12, 2022 NEWS Leave a comment
Mubende, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Security has rounded up 15 people in Kiruma sub county, Mubende district and taken them to the Ebola isolation center for screening and testing. The 15 are said to be members of the same family who had close contact with a deceased, but had resisted requests by the surveillance team to test.
...
According to Byabashaija, the group belonged to the family, which has since lost 7 people to suspected Ebola but resisted going for testing. Byabashaija, who also doubles as the chairperson of the Ebola taskforce in Mubende district, attributed the death of 7 people in one family to their rigidity and resistance to treatment.
She revealed that the deceased man from Kiruma traversed different areas like Luwero, Nateete in Kampala and died at Kiruddu hospital without providing a proper identity. She said there are many such people who conceal information about their sicknesses.

African health ministers take steps to curb Ebola disease outbreak
12 October 2022
Addis Ababa/Brazzaville/Kampala – Ministers of Health and government representatives from 9 African countries today agreed on joint measures to stop the potential spread of the ongoing Ebola disease outbreak in Uganda and beyond its borders.
An assessment conducted by World Health Organization (WHO) found that the risk of the Sudan ebolavirus spreading to neighbouring countries as high due to cross border movements between Uganda and other countries. The population is mobile due to trade, social and cultural connections. In addition, the country hosts many refugees who continue to keep ties with their countries of origin.
Recognizing the importance of collaborative efforts, the Government of Uganda, with support from the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and WHO today hosted a High-Level Emergency Ministerial meeting on Cross Border Collaboration for Preparedness and Response to Ebola Disease Outbreaks in Kampala.
The meeting concluded with a communique in which Ministers of Health and senior government officials from Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda endorsed key measures to prevent the cross-border spread of the Sudan Ebolavirus. These include disease surveillance, contact tracing and monitoring, prompt alert notification, information sharing and joint trainings of emergency responders, as well as carrying out simulation exercises to enhance preparedness and response.
“Uganda has experience in managing epidemics and since the beginning of this Ebola outbreak, with the support of our partners, we have taken measures to limit the transmission of the disease. Sharing experience and strengthening collaboration between our countries will enable us to respond quickly and efficiently to health emergencies affecting our countries,” said Hon Dr Jane Ruth Aceng Acero, Uganda’s Minister of Health.
Uganda declared an outbreak of the Sudan ebolavirus on 20 September 2022, marking the first time this species – one of the six under the Ebolavirus genus – was detected in the country since 2012.
“One of the crucial lessons Africa has learnt from previous Ebola outbreaks is that by uniting, we stay a step ahead of the virus. Through sharing information and resources, countries can go from firefighting to building an outbreak firewall and halting the spread of infections,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa. “The joint efforts agreed upon today place Uganda and the region on the road to breaking Ebola’s grip.”
The outbreak has affected five districts, and as of 12 October 2022, 54 confirmed cases and 19 deaths have been reported. With the intensifying response, more than a thousand contacts have been identified, while 20 people have recovered from the disease.
“We as a continent must work together to plan, prepare and respond to the Ebola outbreak and other public health threats through resource sharing, regional efforts to build resilience capacity of human resources, strengthening laboratory systems, surveillance, treatment and care,” said Dr Ahmed Ogwell Ouma, Acting Director General of the Africa CDC, emphasizing the need for collaboration efforts in ensuring health security of the Eastern Africa region and beyond. He also called for action to support the implementation of the Africa New Public Health Order.
The Ministers of Health also agreed on joint plans to carry out cross-border readiness, including raising public awareness and conducting community engagement campaigns. They also agreed to the rapid cross-border deployment of medical personnel to tackle the disease.
As no effective vaccine against the Sudan ebolavirus has been licenced yet, Ugandan health authorities have focused on supportive care for confirmed cases alongside stepping up testing, surveillance, infection prevention and control, as well as collaborating with communities to support disease prevention measures.
There are at least six candidate vaccines against Sudan ebolavirus, which are in different stages of development. Three of them have Phase1 data (safety and immunogenicity data in humans), and the remaining are in the preclinical evaluation phase.

US asks ministry to block Ebola contacts from flying
Friday, October 14, 2022
The contacts are expected to be isolated for 21 days before flying to the United States.
By Tonny Abet
...
“We have not had any direct discussion with the US government regarding those restrictions [against passengers from Uganda over Ebola]. Part of the information I got from them [US] is that they will be interested in us indicating to the airport the people who have been in direct contact with Ebola [patients],” he said.
Dr Mwebesa added: “And if those people are known, then they are prevented from flying by indicating to the airport. The person should be isolated for 21 days before flying out.”
He said at least two countries are also asking for an Ebola-free certificate for people coming from Uganda.
“We have not been giving Ebola-free certificates, but we will consult with the World Health Organisation. I don’t know what it means. Do I need to test somebody first and give you an Ebola-free certificate? Do I need to indicate that you have not been in contact with somebody who has Ebola?” he asked.
...
Mr Emmanuel Ainebyoona, the Health ministry spokesperson, said 1,049 contacts of Ebola patients have been listed with 35 percent followed.

Uganda Says Ebola Has Not Reached Capital, Despite Cases
By AFP - Agence France Presse
October 14, 2022
...
Only one fatal case had been recorded in Kampala, a 45-year-old man who fled Mubende after a relative died, and sought out the help of a witchdoctor before travelling to the capital where he died.
Health authorities on Thursday said the man's wife also tested positive for Ebola shortly after giving birth at a health clinic in Kampala, a city of 1.5 million people.
But despite this new case, Health Minister Jane Ruth Aceng stressed that Kampala was still considered Ebola-free because the woman, and her husband, were exposed to the virus in Mubende.
"I want to state very clearly that this does not mean Kampala has Ebola," Aceng told reporters on Thursday.
"Cases that were already listed in Mubende remain cases of Mubende. Unless Kampala generates its own cases that start within Kampala, we cannot call that a Kampala case."
Health officials have not commented on the status of the baby born to the woman who tested positive.
The health workers who attended the birth are under medical observation in an isolation facility at Kampala's main hospital where they will remain for the next 21 days, Aceng said.
