Overall, Uganda has recorded 14 cases and two deaths since the start of the outbreak, according to Africa CDC.
"Ebola in Uganda is a very important challenge, especially the resurgence of these cases. However, I think everything is being done in the country to intensify the monitoring," Ngongo said told the briefing.
Ebola symptoms include fever, headache and muscle pains. The virus is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids and tissue.
Uganda last suffered an outbreak in late 2022 which killed 55 of the 143 people infected. That outbreak was declared over in 2023.
An outbreak of Marburg, a cousin of Ebola, was declared in neighbouring Tanzania in January. Uganda also borders Rwanda, which emerged from a [Marburg outbreak](https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/africa/2024-09-27-rwanda-confirms-cases-of-marburg-viral-disease/) in December, and Democratic Republic of Congo, where outbreaks of Ebola are common.
