Part 2/8:
On January 30, Uganda's Ministry of Health confirmed a case of Ebola from a postmortem analysis, resulting from the death of a health worker. The quick actions of health officials led to the tracing of 44 contacts. Fortunately, none of these contacts tested positive for the virus, providing a glimmer of hope amidst a high-profile health threat. However, the World Health Organization promptly classified the outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern given the potential for rapid transmission due to globalization and tourism.
