NAIROBI: Uganda’s health minister declared the country Ebola-free on Tuesday following the East African nation’s latest outbreak of the viral hemorrhagic disease that infected 20 people and killed two of them. Uganda has suffered multiple outbreaks of Ebola since 2000, when it recorded its first epidemic, and officials say over the years the country gained expertise it has used to bring recent infections under control quickly with limited community spread.

The disease is continuing to spread in the hard-hit country of Congo, where the outbreak is nearing record-high case numbers.
