NewzUganda’s Ministry of Health has mandated a 21-day quarantine for all citizens returning from the Democratic Republic of Congo. This measure is part of an effort to tighten border restrictions and prevent the potential cross-border transmission of the Ebola virus into Uganda.
The decision follows a severe Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has resulted in more than 4,800 deaths since May. The quarantine policy serves as a public health containment strategy in response to what is described as the country’s deadliest outbreak of the virus.
