Uganda confirms three additional Ebola cases, raising the country’s total to five. Multiple outlets report that the new infections include a driver who transported the country’s first confirmed Ebola patient, linking the cases to the earlier response effort. Al Jazeera also reports that one of the newly confirmed cases is a health worker, indicating onward transmission beyond the initial contacts. The Independent and The Telegraph both describe the driver as among those who have fallen ill. The Telegraph additionally refers to a broader suspected death toll figure in the context of the outbreak, though the reported new Uganda cases remain the focus of the confirmations. Across the reports, Ugandan authorities are publicly updating case counts as laboratory confirmation is completed. The reports do not provide detailed information in the excerpts about the patients’ locations, symptoms, or outcomes beyond the fact that the cases are confirmed.
