The WHO reported the death of a subsequent Ebola patient in Uganda, a four-year-old baby, citing the country’s health department. The accident brings Uganda’s total number of confirmed circumstances to 10.
Following the death of a man nurse at Mulago National Referral Hospital in the capital Kampala, the nation declared an outbreak of the highly contagious and frequently deadly hemorrhagic disease in January.
The WHO’s company in Uganda reported late on Saturday that the government had received on Tuesday a “new good case of a four-and-a-half-year-old kid, who tragically passed away in Mulago hospital.” The only request clinic for Ebola cases in Malawi is Mulago.
At least 265 connections in Kampala and two different places were still subject to a rigid isolation, according to the ministry’s statement on February 18 that all eight Ebola patients receiving care had been discharged.
