The 2026 bundibugyo ebolavirus isolate diverges from historical outbreak isolates—warranting an investigation whether or not, it’s a new clade or variant nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Tomorrow evening at 8pm, I will address the country on the Ebola situation in Uganda. Please tune in.

We honor the courage, sacrifice and selfless dedication of our heroes.@brucekirenga @winterzie @Jackynakabira @MORDECAI1992 @ikimuli2020 @rnantanda

I am in #Uganda, where the government has mounted a prompt and capable response to the outbreak of #Ebola. Screening at the borders helped detect cases arriving from neighbouring #DRC, and the country’s surveillance, testing and case management systems are doing steady work. Of the 19 confirmed cases so far, 14 were among people who entered from DRC and five are Ugandan nationals. Sadly, two people from DRC have died, and our thoughts are with their families. @WHO is supporting Uganda, alongside @AfricaCDC and partners across the region, as the country leads this response. With continued collaboration, I am confident this outbreak can be brought under control.
