She adds that the confirmed case is of a 24-year-old male, a resident Ngabano village, Madudu sub-county in Mubende district who presented with Ebola symptoms and later died.

“The district rapid response team of Mubende initiated investigations as they had been informed of the community deaths and these reports were specifically talking about a strange illness and sudden death in the villages of Madudu and Kiruma sub-counties.
