Uganda's Health Ministry announced an outbreak of Ebola virus in Uganda's capital, in Kampala, Uganda, Jan. 30, 2025. Despite the news, most Ugandans appeared unaware or unconcerned about the outbreak and went about their business normally.

After the first Ebola death in Uganda in years, a senior health official says authorities in the African nation are "in full control of the situation."

In its last outbreak, more than two years ago, Uganda saw 164 cases and 55 confirmed deaths from Ebola. Uganda announced Thursday that a nurse, 32, had died of Ebola in the capital, Kampala, amid a new outbreak of the deadly virus there — the first in two years.
