The
Ministry of Health has this Friday warned the general public of an
outbreak of a deadly Marburg virus in Kitumba sub-county, Kabale
district in western Uganda.
Health experts have confirmed an outbreak of the deadly Marburg after samples from two relatives taken to the Uganda Virus Institute and tested positive.
Police Thursday stopped the burial of Boaz Turyahikayo a lecturer at Uganda Christian University and his sister Mildrid Asasira after it emerged that their family had lost four people from a mysterious disease in just a month.
The other two are Lillian Banegura their mother and an elder brother Bernard Rutaro who passed away early this month.
