The East African Schools Handball Championship that was slated to start on August 25 in Burundi has been called off due to the recent Ebola outbreak in Uganda.
Sixteen people have so far died of Ebola in Uganda yet the country was to enter three schools in the Burundi event.
“We don’t need to be reminded of how dangerous this disease is,” Sheila Richardson, the handball federation president said while closing a coaches and referees’ course at Lugogo at the weekend.
