The United States is introducing Ebola checks after Uganda outbreak.
An outbreak of the Ebola disease was announced by health officials on the 20th September 2022.
Unfortunately, nine lives have been lost to the disease since its outbreak in Uganda.
The US will redirect travellers who have been to Uganda in the previous 21 days to five airports to screen them for Ebola.
The US Embassy in Uganda said that "out of an abundance of caution" travellers would be redirected to the JFK, Newark, Atlanta, O’Hare, or Dulles airports.
Officials will conduct a temperature screening, ask health questions and report arrivals to local health departments, Reuters news agency reports.
