This article in the UK's Daily Mail today says that there are 54 cases and 19 have died and so two districts have been put under lockdown to stop the spread. I think we can all agree that Ebola makes Covid look like a grazed knee!!! |

There will be curfew in Mubende and Kasanda districts starting from 7 pm to 6 am in the morning. The restrictions on Mubende and Kasanda districts will last 21 days. - Israel has a suspected Ebola case in quarantine – the first test for the virus was negative, but more tests will be carried out. link [url]https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-719701[/url] or https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-719701 ; An Israeli who had fallen ill after returning from Uganda amid the ongoing Ebola virus outbreak in East Africa was hospitalized in a quarantined section of Sheba Medical Center, KAN News reported on Friday. Health Ministry officials are reportedly concerned he might have contracted Ebola during his stay in Uganda. The first Ebola test taken by the patient yielded a negative result, according to the report. He is nevertheless set to remain in quarantine, as symptoms can begin to appear after 21 days. DJ, it would be strange if ebola showed up in Israel...(I would be less surprised if it showed up in Haïti...)

The outbreak affects several regions of the African country that are frequented by tourists. Dutch health institute RIVM therefore increased the Ebola alert level, asking doctors and travelers to be alert. “However, the risk of patients with this disease in the Netherlands remains low.” “RIVM asks medical professionals to be alert to symptoms that could indicate Ebola among people who have traveled to Uganda,” the institute for public health and the environment said on Thursday. “Travelers returning from these areas are also advised to be alert to symptoms.” proberbly global alarmbells are ringing... CoViD is mutating into very bad variants...I think CoViD may have opened doors-via weaker immunity- for all kinds of other diseases...(MPX, Polio...) |

Ebola has never really been a threat to the rest of the world because it was traditionally found in the river basin of the Ebola river in central Africa and was so quick to disable and kill the people it infected that there was little risk of it reaching the cities and airports and spreading to other areas. Now, with improved transport in the area, the risk is significantly heightened. It is totally plausible that someone could become infected, and be on a plane a day later, and anywhere else in the world within 36 hours. A potential nightmare scenario. |

Yesterday 23rd Oct 2022, nine (9) individuals were confirmed positive for #Ebola in Greater Kampala region bringing the total number of cases to 14 in the last 48 hours. The 9 cases are contacts of the fatal case who came from Kassanda district and passed on in Mulago Hospital. and 7 family members are from Masanafu and 1 health worker who managed him in a private clinic together with his wife from Seguku. Fellow Ugandans, let's be vigilant. Report yourself if you have had contact or know of a person who has had contact. Lets cooperate to end Ebola. see also [url]https://www.afro.who.int/countries/uganda/news/ministry-health-and-development-partners-tour-ebola-treatment-units-strengthen-response-preparedness[/url] or https://www.afro.who.int/countries/uganda/news/ministry-health-and-development-partners-tour-ebola-treatment-units-strengthen-response-preparedness The Ministry of Health in Uganda in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO) organized a guided tour for development partners to the Entebbe and Mulago Ebola Treatment Units (ETU) to assess the state and operation of the centers. The guided tour involved officials from the Ministry of Health, WHO, and Ambassadors from the different diplomatic corps, including the embassies of the United States, the Norwegian government, Ireland and the British High Commission in Uganda. Starting from the Entebbe ETU, the Minister of Health, Honorable Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng welcomed the partners to the 67 – bed center that has been designated for the management of health workers including all humanitarian workers involved in the response. The center, which also has nine (9) High Dependency Care beds recently discharged five health workers who had managed successfully and recovered. “I want to appreciate our front liners - the health workers who have dedicated their lives to serve and save the people of Uganda. Your commitment and determination do not go unnoticed and without you, there is no life,” said Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng. With support from WHO and the generous contribution of partners including the Norwegian government, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the center has trained 30 health workers in the Ebola response. Through WHO support, a WHO case management expert and a senior MoH specialist doctor from Mulago hospital have been deployed to support case management and training at the site. The WHO health organization has also provided discharge kits for the five health workers who were cured, assorted infection prevention and control (IPC) and case management supplies, three (3) monitors, three (3) ventilators, and three (3) defibrillators from funding for Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) preparedness in 2018/2019. “We are committed to continuing working with the Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Health to ensure that the Ebola outbreak is contained. WHO is supporting all response pillars including case management to make sure that all cases are managed properly,” said Dr. Yonas Tegegn Woldemariam, the WHO Representative to Uganda. At the Mulago Hospital, the team toured the recently opened isolation unit capable of managing 120 patient at a time. The center is currently used for the isolation of high-risk suspects and other contacts pending confirmation of their test results. The team also visited the site at Mulago that was been earmarked for expansion for additional ETU beds. The construction of the new Site will be done by MSF who have also supported ETU construction in Mubende. WHO has supported the treatment center at Mulago with one standard Viral hemorrhagic Fever kit (VHF PPE) that has supplies and equipment adequate for staff protection, assorted case management, and infection prevention and control supplies for use in the treatment. A 200 kva diesel generator was also supplied to provide power backup at the treatment center. “I appreciate the support received so far from development partners towards the Ebola response. Strong partnerships and collaboration are the cornerstones of any response. I urge you to mobilize more resources to enable us to contain this outbreak,” said Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng. Since the Ebola outbreak was declared by the Ministry of Health on 20 September 2022, the country has so far recorded 64 cumulative confirmed cases and 25 deaths, with a case fatality rate of 39% as of 19 October 2022. DJ...concentrating care for ebola patients in one place-near the international airport-international aid-may be wise. Capacity (67 beds in ETU, 120 in a nearby hotel) may be limited... |
