Africa CDC urges US to lift Uganda travel restrictions

# The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention has called on the US to lift Ebola-related travel restrictions on Uganda. Speaking at a conference in Accra, director-General Jean Kaseya said he had written to US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. arguing there was no reason to maintain the measures. Uganda has reported no new Ebola infections for about a month, with its last patient discharged on July 16. The US restrictions also apply to travelers from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
