[Independent (Kampala)] Uganda finally got the Ebola declaration it had effectively claimed for itself a month earlier. On Thursday, Aug. 27, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) formally declared Uganda free of the Bundibugyo virus outbreak after the country completed the internationally recognised 42-day period without a new confirmed case.
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced last Thursday that the Ebola epidemic in Uganda, Africa, had ended. At that time, the country had gone 42 days without new infections.
