As you may be aware there is currently an Ebola outbreak in Uganda and The Democratic Republic of Congo which is still being treated as “a Public Emergency of International Concern.” – Source, WHO.

“The risk in Uganda is still assessed as high due to confirmed cross-border spread through imported cases and ongoing epidemiological links along the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo–western Uganda corridor, historically affected by Ebola outbreaks.” – Source, WHO.

Contact tracing is in place in Uganda where it has been reported to have been found in the capital of Kampala, sparking serious concern. At present The Ugandan Ministry of Health are closely coordinating with The World Health Organisation and are being heavily monitored. Health officials there are leading efforts to detect cases, trace contacts, limit transmission, and protect communities. 

Please pray for our team there and all those we work with as they take extra precautions at this concerning time. They are back to operating how it was during Covid with everyone being asked to wear masks, frequently using hand sanitiser and social distancing.

Outbreaks such as this cause serious alarm and worry and so we ask you to pray for our team there and all those they are working with. Pray that they remain astute during this high risk of infection and free from this disease. Pray for extra peace and protection of their health and wellbeing during this time.
