Summary
Uganda has gone five days without a new Ebola case, President Yoweri Museveni said, signaling the outbreak may be easing but urging the public to stay vigilant.
WHO data released Tuesday still showed 19 cases, including two confirmed deaths and five recoveries, with those totals unchanged from last week.
All identified Ugandan cases have been linked to travelers from neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, the center of the wider outbreak.
WHO still rates Uganda's risk as high because of the shared border with DRC, but advises against travel restrictions and instead backs border screening and surveillance.
