The Government of Uganda has lifted all movement restrictions that were placed on Mubende and Kassanda Districts.

In September, an outbreak of Ebola was declared in Mubende District which resulted in the restriction of movement in and out of Mubende and Kassanda districts for 63 days as part of the measures to contain the outbreak.

In a National Address, the Vice President, Jessica Alupo, on behalf of President Yoweri Museveni, noted that the measures have slowed down transmission in the two districts, protected the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area and the rest of the country.

The Vice President revealed that despite the great success registered in the containment of the epidemic, Uganda still needs 24 days to complete the 42-days which are two incubation cycles, “to give us reassurance that the outbreak is under control.”

So far, Mubende district has not registered any confirmed case for 34 days and neither has Kassanda for 37 days.

To date, there is a total of 142 confirmed cases, 56 deaths and 86 recoveries with no more contacts under follow-up.

The most affected district was Mubende, which was also the initial epicenter district of this outbreak, with 66 cases, and 29 deaths.

This was followed by Kassanda district with 49 cases and 21 deaths. Kampala with 18 cases and three (03) deaths, Kyegegwa with three (03) cases and zero death, Jinja district with one (1) case and one (1) death.

There are currently no cases on admission.

“I am lifting all movement restrictions and curfew in Mubende and Kassanda districts with immediate effect, today 17th December 2022,” Alupo said, adding:

“The lifting of these restrictions is based on the fact that currently, there is no transmission, no contact under follow-up, no patients in the isolation facilities, and we are progressing well with the count down.”

However, she asked Ugandans to remain on high alert with intense surveillance across the country.
