Key points

The Ministry of Health of Uganda has declared an Ebola outbreak in several districts in Uganda (see map). Avoid non-essential travel to these regions.
  • This outbreak has been linked to the Sudan ebolavirus. No vaccines or therapeutics have been approved for prevention or treatment of the Sudan ebolavirus.
  • Travelers should avoid contact with sick people and avoid contact with blood or body fluids from all people.
  • Travelers should avoid contact with dead bodies, including participating in funeral or burial rituals.
  • Travelers should isolate immediately and seek medical careif they develop signs and symptomslike fever, muscle pain, sore throat, diarrhea, weakness, vomiting, stomach pain, or unexplained bleeding or bruising during or for up to 21 days after travel. Travelers who develop symptoms after arriving in the United States should follow additional recommendations.
  • Organizations sending US-based healthcare or emergency response workers to the outbreak area should follow CDC recommendations to ensure their workers are healthy when they return to the United States.
  • CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO) are working with local health authorities to identify sources of transmission, conduct case investigations, and strengthen local laboratory capacity.
