Six children test positive for Ebola in Uganda

At least six school children from 3 different schools tested positive for the Ebola Virus in Kampala of Uganda, with one of them losing the battle to the disease that has been on the rise in the country.
Jane Ruth Aceng, Ugandan Health Minister said "Six of the infected family members are of school going age. These learners attended three schools in the Rubaga division. We have listed 170 contacts from these schools for follow up."
One of the most affected schools, Green Valley Primary School has had to close 3 classrooms including Primary Seven Candidates who are due to sit for the National Examinations.
Steven Lwanga, Headmaster at God's Will Primary School said “of course before the child passed on, the KCCA medical team was here to ensure that they put in place what the Ministry of Health requested for, to ensure that we curb the spread of the Ebola."
The Ugandan government declared the Ebola outbreak in the Central district of Mubende on September 20, after a 24-year-old man tested positive. According to the Centre for Disease Control, to date, at least 31 people have lost their lives to the virus and over 109 people have tested positive to the Ebola virus.
