Uganda authorities are planning to start an Ebola vaccination campaign in the western district of Kasase, which saw two deaths from the virus earlier this week.
Those who died had crossed over from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where nearly a thousand 400 people have died from Ebola.
Health workers and people who came into contact with those who had Ebola will be vaccinated.
Uganda’s health ministry says seven people who had earlier been suspected to have Ebola have been found to be negative.
The seven include four of the people who were repatriated to DR Congo along with a three-year-old who has the virus.
The European Union has released 3.9 million dollars to Uganda and South Sudan in emergency funding to help prevent the spread of Ebola.
The additional funding comes ahead of WHO’s meeting today to discuss whether the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo should be declared a public health emergency of international concern.
