Deadly virus hits Uganda

A new deadly virus outbreak hits Ugando with the name 'Ebola' and has claimed about fourteen lives already in the state capital of Kampala. Ebola, one of the most poisonous diseases in the world is said to be spread by close personal contact and can kill up to 90% of those who come in contact with it.

Uganda's President,Yoeri Museveni has advised people to avoid personal physical contact. He said health workers are still trying to trace everyone who has had contact with victims so that they can be quarantined.

The Uganda President has urged people to avoid shaking hands, kissing or having sex in order to prevent the disease from spreading further. He also advised relatives of dead victims and anyone who's suspected to have died of the disease not to bury them, but rather call on health workers.  

No sex...I can deal with that, but no hand sake...na wa o!
