Uganda Strengthens Health Screening at Borders Following Regional Ebola Cases

Ugandan Port Health authorities have reinforced health screening measures at Entebbe International Airport and all land border crossings. All incoming travelers are now required to complete a Passenger Locator Form and undergo health screening. These heightened vigilance measures were reintroduced following reports of Ebola cases in the region among individuals who had transited through Uganda. The Uganda-Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) border remains closed, with exceptions for humanitarian and cargo movements.
