The announcement follows a 42-day period without any new confirmed
cases.
Speaking at a ceremony in Mubende today, Health Minister Jane Ruth Aceng
said they have successfully controlled the Ebola outbreak in Uganda.
The outbreak, which began last September, caused particular concern as
it was caused by the Sudan strain of Ebola, for which there is no vaccine.
Cases were initially concentrated in the central region districts of
Mubende and Kassanda, where the outbreak began. But the epidemic seemed to be
getting out of control when positive cases were recorded in at least seven
other districts, including the capital Kampala.
