Luwero itself was last hit by Ebola in May last year, an outbreak in which a 12-year-old girl died.

A team of health experts including personnel from the World Health Organisation and Doctors Without Borders has been sent to Luwero and an isolation facility was being set up at the district's Nyimbwa health centre for suspected Ebola patients, Ondoa said. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/15/us-uganda-ebola-idUSBRE8AE0RC20121115
