The Africa CDC’s acting director, Ahmed Ogwell Ouma, told a news briefing that if no new cases were reported in Uganda by January 10, then the outbreak would be over. Officials first confirmed the outbreak in September and said it was the Sudan strain of the disease, for which there is no proven vaccine.
