WHO has upgraded its risk assessment of Uganda's #Ebola outbreak from high to very high on the national level and from low to high for the region.
The perception of increased risk comes from having cases in Kampala and the mobility of some of the cases & contacts.
To date there have been 157 confirmed + probable cases & 74 confirmed + probable deaths. https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2022-DON423

Which is one reason why resourced and monied people stay referring to Twitter as a "hellsite." You can't avoid the reality of class divides here. And on Twitter a lot of professionals can't shut folks out of their industries as effectively.
