“I would like to appeal to the nation to avoid shaking hands and any form of body contact as the country faces this Ebola outbreak. I also discourage mass gatherings. always wash your hands with soap, jik and water,” she added.

The Health ministry announced an Ebola alert on Tuesday evening after a five year boy from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) tested positive for Ebola shortly after crossing into Kasese District.

He died hours later followed by his grandmother later in the day at Ebola Treatment Unit at Bwera Hospital in Mpondwe-Lhubiriha town council.
