UPDATED Statistics on Ebola Virus in Uganda


UPDATED: 21st/10/2022: The recent Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)  in Uganda has changed so much about the beautiful mountain Gorilla Country. This outbreak is still relatively limited in size (48 cases). More importantly, transmission has not been documented in densely populated areas. The spread of the ongoing outbreak to other areas within Uganda and/or in neighboring countries cannot be excluded. 

While one death has occurred in the capital city of Kampala, it concerns an individual who fled from the affected districts and passed away in the capital. The patient arrived in the city in a serious condition, which alerted the healthcare workers; therefore, protective measures were applied. A total of 42 contacts have been identified. No other cases have been recorded in the city.

As of 21 October 2022, and according to the Uganda Ministry of Health, 48 confirmed cases have been reported, including 17 deaths, of which four were healthcare workers. There have been 14 recoveries from EVD, including five healthcare workers. There are an additional 20 probable deaths among individuals who died before a sample was taken. All cases reported outside Mubende have an epidemiological link to the cases initially reported in Mubende.
