No Ebola in Uganda: Visit & Rent a Car at Entebbe Airport
If you are disturbed by the ongoing news about the Ebola outbreak in Uganda, just take the right answer from me and it is the fact. Yes, it is true there is Ebola disease in the nearby Democratic Republic of Congo.
The disease was first confirmed in DRC but not in Uganda. Then you can ask yourself why is Uganda involved in this? Here is the answer. Firstly before the doctors in DRC noticed the presence of the virus in the community, people had bad symptoms and did not know what was really disturbing.
Because of the bad health system in Congo, one patient decided to cross to Uganda for better medication. This patient reached a prominent hospital in Kampala and doctors attended and gave him the needed care to stabilize the symptoms. They handled this patient without ensuring the needed precaution when treating an Ebola patient like putting the all covering safety gear. This was because at first they didn’t that it is an EBOLA patient. Later on after doing the necessary tests, they discovered that it is Ebola.
Unfortunately they were all exposed to the virus. A quick response was initiated to curb the widespread. All exposed people were isolated and put on medication. Moreover, all Congolese nationals were restricted entry into Uganda. All border areas between Uganda and DRC were closed. Right now, there are few cases in Uganda and there are all imported from the DRC. There is no local infection. Strict measures are put in place to ensure that there is no any exposure to the public.
Everything is going on well in Uganda. You should not cancel your well planned trip to Uganda. Proceed and apply for the Visa, book flight tickets and visit the pearl of Africa.
