Jinja, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | There was tension in Mukwanga zone in Buwenge town council in Jinja district on Friday when 48-year-old Anthony Mutebe, exhibited Ebola-like symptoms before collapsing and dying in a trading center. Mutebe’s body, which had blood spills in his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears, was left in the open for fear of spreading a suspected contagious disease.
Prior to his death, Mutebe reportedly vomited blood for nearly ten minutes before collapsing, prompting the residents to alert the police authorities. They cordoned off the scene and prevented dozens of residents, along with family members who had converged in the area, from getting in contact with the deceased.
At around 1:00 pm, the residents grew weary of waiting for the Jinja district health surveillance teams to arrive, accusing them of delaying their response. However, the police personnel who had since pitched camp in the area deterred them from executing their planned moves. Musa Magumba, the Buwenge town council councilor stated that Mutebe was confirmed dead at around 8:00 am.
