Health authorities in Uganda have identified 74 confirmed and probable cases of Ebola across five districts, according to the WHO. At least 39 people have died from the disease and 14 others have recovered from the disease. More than 660 people who were possibly exposed to the virus are under active follow-up.
Ebolavirus does not spread through airborne transmission. People catch the disease through direct contact with bodily fluids of a person who has fallen ill or died from the virus. It can also spread through contact with contaminated materials and infected animals. Airlines are providing passenger information to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention so the agency can conduct follow-ups with the travelers, a federal health official said last week. This information is also being shared with state and local health departments.
Ebola symptoms include unexplained hemorrhaging, bleeding or bruising as well as fever, severe headaches, muscle and joint pain, weakness and fatigue, sore throat, loss of appetite, stomach pain, diarrhea and vomiting, according to the CDC.
