He was admitted to Buwenge Health Center IV following his referral from a private clinic in Buwenge Town Council early this week.

According to the Minister of Health, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, the deceased is linked to a probable case, his brother.

The confirmed fatal case also died at his home on 10th November and was buried on 12th November.

Aceng noted that a sample was obtained on the 10th from the dead body by health workers from St Catherine Medical centre, Luzinya Buwenge, a private clinic where he had sought treatment.  

“Contact tracing and epidemiological investigations have been activated,” Dr Aceng said. 

She asked Ugandans to remain vigilant.

“If you have had contact with an Ebola case, do not run away. Report to the nearest public health facility.”
