[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] In the past four months, Uganda has been devastated by the Ebola virus.

Since the first case was discovered on September 20 last year, Doctors Without Borders has revealed that the local situation is very bad, and the spread of the virus cannot be effectively controlled due to the lack of vaccines.

As Uganda passed the World Health Organization's Ebola-free benchmark for more than 42 days without a new case, the government considered it a great day for Uganda and expressed its intention to continue developing a vaccine.

According to the Guardian, Uganda has claimed 55 lives in just one month since the first case of Ebola virus in Sudan was discovered on September 20, including the humanitarian aid doctors at that time.

In the past, Doctors Without Borders admitted frankly that the local situation was unintentionally optimistic, and because there was no corresponding vaccine control, the virus spread rapidly from Mubende in the central part to neighboring Kassanda, and the two areas remained closed for several months.

A few days ago, there were no new cases for 42 consecutive days, meeting the World Health Organization (WHO) Ebola-free standard. The Ugandan government finally announced the end of one of the worst incidents in 20 years.

Emmanuel Ainebyoona, spokesperson of the Ministry of Health, said that this day is a very great day for the country. Although it is admitted that the lockdown has restricted people's livelihood, it is because of this that the spread of the virus to other areas has been curbed, and it has effectively spread to other areas. We have dealt with this wave of epidemics in a short period of time.

The Ugandan Red Cross said it would not immediately evacuate the affected area.

Government officials intend to continue entrusting the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries to research and develop a vaccine against the Sudanese Ebola virus, hoping to be better prepared to deal with any emergencies that may arise.
