@MHenryjf @USEmbassyUganda Is the travel restriction still holding

[CBS News @CBSNews]

One month into the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the total number of confirmed cases surged to 800 between Monday and Tuesday - about 300 more cases than the week prior.

Meanwhile, across the border, Uganda is in proactive protection mode, with no new cases for the past 11 days. Ugandan health officials tell CBS News they are happy with their response and results. Uganda has had 19 confirmed Ebola cases with two deaths - all traced back to the Congo. Official border crossings have been shut.

CBS News' @RamyInocencio landed there and was immediately asked to fill out a health declaration for Ebola that asked about bats, funerals and fevers. Here's what it looked like.

Hey. I recently changed my phone. Now am trying to log into the momo app using the new phone but am being told that I need approval from the previous phone (primary device). I no longer have the phone! Reached out via dm but was not helped.

Govt Stakes UGX 5 Trillion on Health Sector But Medical Interns Left At Sea.

This highlights the irony of two former medical intern leaders now in top health roles enforcing unpaid or reduced-pay internship policies.

Dr. @JaneRuth_Aceng (1994 intern strike leader over food) recently handed over as Health Minister to Dr. @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 (1995 strike leader over low pay), both now positioned as 2026 decision-makers defending no-pay rules for interns.

Uganda's 2026/27 budget omits funding for intern allowances starting August, prompting protests as the government reviews support for privately sponsored interns while public hospitals face staffing shortages.

The same government telling you mbu it’s going to put our oil money into a sovereign fund a la Norway. Reminds me of the 1986 Ten-Point Programme.

@CDCgov We stated. Please review the stringent travel ban on uganda and instead employ enhanced border screening.
