There are no new Ebola cases reported in Uganda in the past five days, the Ministry of Health's permanent secretary, Dr Diana Atwine, has said.
Atwine's declaration followed an inquiry by President Yoweri Museveni, who sought to find out whether there was any new case.
In response, Atwine said, "We still have 19 cases, 14 of which are for Congolese nationals."
The revelation came during a national address on the Ebola situation on Wednesday (June 10, 2026) by President Museveni at State House Nakasero.
During the address, Museveni, who spoke in English and Swahili, emphasised that the disease spreads through close contact with infected people, animals, or contaminated materials, and called for greater vigilance among the public.
As of June 6, Uganda had recorded 19 confirmed cases, including two deaths. The active cases are 12.
Five patients have recovered, according to the health ministry and World Health Organisation.
Health authorities say all reported cases have been linked to travellers from the Democratic Republic of Congo or their contacts, with no confirmed community transmission in Uganda so far.
