Uganda says Ebola outbreak receding

Isolation wards for Ebola patients in western Uganda are now empty, a senior health official said on Thursday, voicing hope that the killer fever was finally receding. Sam Okware, who heads the national task force on the outbreak, said a patient admitted on December 22 was the only one in the Bundibugyo hospital’s isolation wards.
