As the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to worsen, with over 800 confirmed cases and almost 200 deaths, Uganda has strengthened its border controls to prevent the spread of the disease. The move comes after the World Health Organization warned that the outbreak could be the worst ever. On Tuesday, G7 leaders called for a coordinated response to the outbreak, and the US committed $270 million to fight it. Uganda's health authorities have confirmed that they are taking all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the disease, including screening arrivals at airports and border crossings. The Ebola strain currently spreading has no approved vaccine or treatment, making it essential for Uganda to take proactive measures to protect its citizens.
