Uganda declares end to Ebola outbreak after 42-day monitoring period
Ugandan health authorities have declared the end of the country's Ebola outbreak. The declaration follows a 42-day monitoring period with no new cases. This is a national declaration and does not address the ongoing outbreak in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo.
