Health minister Dr. Christine Ondoa has said the
government has not imposed a travel ban in the districts affected by Ebola
virus.
“The Ebola virus is a self- limiting disease. It can wipe out
a family or a village when there are no more people to infect, it dies down.
Isolation is the solution and it will contain it,” Ondoa told Parliament. She
was presenting a statement on the status of the Ebola virus out- break in
Uganda.
...She added that an ambulance equipped with protective gear has
been sent to Kibaale to transport Ebola patients and to transport the dead for
burial. She said the National Medical Stores has been directed to provide
necessary medicines and logistics to affected districts.
..Lyndah Timbigamba Kyenjojo district woman MP said
health workers were running away from Kibaale district and some residents were
on the run.
Dr. Sam Okuonzi Vurra county MP urged the government to
improve the management of panic in the affected and neighbouring districts.
“Public awareness is necessary to address fear among the population.
People can be stopped from boarding buses, traveling, going into public
places. People will be running around the country, people will be
refused to enter churches if there is no public education,” Okuonzi
stressed.http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/633646-no-travel-ban-to-ebola-affected-areas-govt.html
