Uganda fights fake news on Ebola outbreak

Uganda, in its third week of fighting Ebola, has 15 cases, one death, and 650 contacts under monitoring. Health authorities are intensifying surveillance, contact tracing, and public awareness. Misinformation on social media and international outlets like CNN is hampering containment efforts. President Museveni accused CNN of exaggerating the threat, and the Foreign Minister protested against Africa CDC's combined statistics that lumped Uganda and DR Congo cases together.
