Of note the patient was often using public transport.

All the people the interacted directly & indirectly are with us in the community.
The wife turned positive & the brother is admitted with cardinal signs & symptoms.

We have of now closed Mbale municipal h/c to the public. It’s now our Ebola treatment Unit.

As a community, let’s do the basics;
Hand washing/ hygiene, avoid touching any mucosa, avoid any unnecessary hand shake or body contact. If necessary, have to do hand hygiene. gathering, Don’t wash dead bodies or manourvers of any kind.

Avoid social gatherings.
If the basics are not well embraced, we shall remain with no option but to recommend a Quarantine, better known as a LOCK DOWN for Mbale city.
