most widespread on record, has caused nearly 10,000 confirmed cases across Africa.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--health js-article-content\">\n<p>Nigeria\u2019s only confirmed case in Africa\u2019s latest deadly Ebola outbreak was flown from the capital, Abuja, to Switzerland on Monday. Uganda, which was declared free of the disease in August, tightened its border controls on Sunday in response.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-desktop\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The evacuated patient, a 42-year-old Swiss citizen and wife of an embassy worker based in Abuja, had travelled to Uganda with her husband before returning to Nigeria. She did not visit the DRC and is believed to have contracted the virus in Uganda, Switzerland\u2019s Federal Department of Foreign Affairs told The Associated Press on Friday. <\/p>\n<p>Uganda\u2019s Ministry of Health said on 23 October that the patient had no symptoms when she left Uganda, adding that investigations were ongoing to establish when her symptoms began and how she became infected.<\/p>\n<p>Her condition was \u201cmuch improved, stable, conscious, communicating, and her clinical laboratory test results closing towards baseline\u201d, Nigeria\u2019s health minister, Muhammad Ali Pate, said in a post on X. \u201cThis does not mean she is not still infectious,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Nigerian health authorities have identified 53 of the patient\u2019s contacts, including health workers, relatives and household staff. On Sunday, they said they had widened the search for potential cases, tracing a further nine contacts. Her husband has not shown any symptoms and remains in isolation. <\/p>\n<p>Pate said on Friday that the woman\u2019s infection appeared closely linked to Kenya\u2019s first case, but cautioned that this did not necessarily establish the route of transmission. <\/p>\n<p>This is not the first case where a patient is transported to Europe for treatment. <\/p>\n<p>Since May 2026, three people infected with Ebola linked to the outbreak have been medically evacuated to Europe for specialised care: two to Germany and one to the Netherlands. All three were healthcare or humanitarian workers in affected areas of Congo.<\/p>\n<p>In July, another person was evacuated to the United Kingdom following potential exposure to the virus while treating Ebola patients in Congo. <\/p>\n<h2>Travel restrictions in Uganda<\/h2>\n<p>The Africa CDC earlier said the first patients in Nigeria and Kenya had both travelled through Uganda\u2019s Entebbe International Airport on 3 October. <\/p>\n<p>The country is reinforcing border controls to stop the spread of the virus and now requires citizens returning from neighbouring the DRC to spend 21 days in quarantine at their own expense, the ministry said. <\/p>\n<p>Anyone who has been in the DRC cannot transit through Uganda, including on chartered flights. Under the new measures, non-essential Congolese travellers will be sent back through the nearest border crossing at their own expense, while those entering illegally face prosecution, the ministry said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe end of local transmission does not mean the risk has ended. We share a border with the DRC, where transmission continues, and our communities remain closely connected through trade, travel and family ties,\u201d the Ugandan health ministry said in a statement on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recent cases involving travellers from the region further underscore the need to remain vigilant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Uganda recorded 20 cases, including two deaths. The most recent was confirmed on 21 June. On 27 August, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the end of the Ebola outbreak in Uganda after 42 consecutive days without new cases. <\/p>\n<h2>Deadliest outbreak in Congo history<\/h2>\n<p>The outbreak that began in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in May has infected nearly 10,000 people and killed more than 4,700, according to the country\u2019s latest data from 21 October, making it the fastest-growing and most widespread Ebola outbreak on record.<\/p>\n<p>It is now the deadliest outbreak in the DRC\u2019s history, with 9,800 cases, including more than 4,700 deaths.<\/p>\n<p>The epicentre is Ituri province, in the north of the country, where 3,298 people have died. The virus has so far spread to seven other provinces.<\/p>\n<p>The outbreak has outrun the response, which has been hampered by instability in the area and the difficulty of reaching some of the worst-affected communities.<\/p>\n<p>The DRC has also reported growing violence against health workers, hindering efforts to slow the virus\u2019s spread. In the latest incident, a nurse was killed and another health worker seriously injured while responding to an Ebola alert, according to the WHO. <\/p>\n<p>Cases have been reported in Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria. <\/p>\n<p>Kenya reported its first-ever Ebola case at the end of the month and has since recorded two deaths, while seven other patients are being treated in isolation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-share-comment-share\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Share<\/span><\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Comments<\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label c-article-share-comment__label--always\">Add Euronews on Google<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2936752-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1\" data-nid=\"2936752\" data-cid=\"9967409\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2936752-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/96\/74\/09\/480x270_cmsv2_f7053f73-272d-5719-a028-2278a168590a-9967409.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Post-doctoral researcher Tofunmi Omiye looks over chatbots in his office at the Stanford School of Medicine in Stanford, Calif., Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Health news<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    One in three young adults use AI chatbots for drug and alcohol info<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"abe-2936191-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1\" data-nid=\"2936191\" data-cid=\"9965063\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2936191-label-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/96\/50\/63\/480x270_cmsv2_28e87c36-5107-58ec-b438-4afd2f09b5b9-9965063.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"FILE: Clockmakers Rich Finn, left, and Tom Erb adjust the time zone controllers on a series of clocks.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Health news<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    Winter or summer time: What\u2019s best for your health?<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"abe-2936182-pos2-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1\" data-nid=\"2936182\" data-cid=\"9964945\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2936182-label-pos2-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/96\/49\/45\/480x270_cmsv2_cc0b1986-e84a-5cbc-96b6-6be223860443-9964945.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Cows graze on a dairy farm.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Health news<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    Shamonda virus: How worried should Europe be?

Uganda, which was declared free of the disease in August, tightened its border controls on Sunday in response.The evacuated patient, a 42-year-old Swiss citizen and wife of an embassy worker based in Abuja, had travelled to Uganda with her husband before returning to Nigeria. She did not visit the DRC and is believed to have contracted the virus in Uganda, Switzerland\u2019s Federal Department of Foreign Affairs told The Associated Press on Friday.\u00a0Uganda\u2019s Ministry of Health said on 23 October that the patient had no symptoms when she left Uganda, adding that investigations were ongoing to establish when her symptoms began and how she became infected.Her condition was \u201cmuch improved, stable, conscious, communicating, and her clinical laboratory test results closing towards baseline\u201d, Nigeria\u2019s health minister, Muhammad Ali Pate, said in a post on X. \u201cThis does not mean she is not still infectious,\u201d he added.\u00a0Nigerian health authorities have identified 53 of the patient\u2019s contacts, including health workers, relatives and household staff. On Sunday, they said they had widened the search for potential cases, tracing a further nine contacts. Her husband has not shown any symptoms and remains in isolation.\u00a0Pate said on Friday that the woman\u2019s infection appeared closely linked to Kenya\u2019s first case, but cautioned that this did not necessarily establish the route of transmission.\u00a0This is not the first case where a patient is transported to Europe for treatment.\u00a0Since May 2026, three people infected with Ebola linked to the outbreak have been medically evacuated to Europe for specialised care: two to Germany and one to the Netherlands. All three were healthcare or humanitarian workers in affected areas of Congo.In July, another person was evacuated to the United Kingdom following potential exposure to the virus while treating Ebola patients in Congo.\u00a0Travel restrictions in UgandaThe Africa CDC earlier said the first patients in Nigeria and Kenya had both travelled through Uganda\u2019s Entebbe International Airport on 3 October.\u00a0The country is reinforcing border controls to stop the spread of the virus and now requires citizens returning from neighbouring the DRC to spend 21 days in quarantine at their own expense, the ministry said.\u00a0Anyone who has been in the DRC cannot transit through Uganda, including on chartered flights. Under the new measures, non-essential Congolese travellers will be sent back through the nearest border crossing at their own expense, while those entering illegally face prosecution, the ministry said.\u00a0\u201cThe end of local transmission does not mean the risk has ended. We share a border with the DRC, where transmission continues, and our communities remain closely connected through trade, travel and family ties,\u201d the Ugandan health ministry said in a statement on Sunday.\u00a0\u201cThe recent cases involving travellers from the region further underscore the need to remain vigilant.\u201dUganda recorded 20 cases, including two deaths. The most recent was confirmed on 21 June. On 27 August, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the end of the Ebola outbreak in Uganda after 42 consecutive days without new cases.\u00a0Deadliest outbreak in Congo historyThe outbreak that began in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in May has infected nearly 10,000 people and killed more than 4,700, according to the country\u2019s latest data from 21 October, making it the fastest-growing and most widespread Ebola outbreak on record.It is now the deadliest outbreak in the DRC\u2019s history, with 9,800 cases, including more than 4,700 deaths.The epicentre is Ituri province, in the north of the country, where 3,298 people have died. The virus has so far spread to seven other provinces.The outbreak has outrun the response, which has been hampered by instability in the area and the difficulty of reaching some of the worst-affected communities.The DRC has also reported growing violence against health workers, hindering efforts to slow the virus\u2019s spread. In the latest incident, a nurse was killed and another health worker seriously injured while responding to an Ebola alert, according to the WHO.\u00a0Cases have been reported in Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria.\u00a0Kenya reported its first-ever Ebola case at the end of the month and has since recorded two deaths, while seven other patients are being treated in isolation.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/10\/26\/ebola-uganda-restricts-travel-as-nigerian-case-evacuated-to-europe&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/95\/84\/96\/1200x675_cmsv2_c8840a15-bc9f-5826-8ab5-52379998dd84-9958496.jpg&#8221;] EU News Serbia\u2019s student victory raises hopes of EU reset Travel News First international flight arrives at the new Western Sydney airport Europe Today &#8216;Yes Bibi or No Bibi&#8217;: Netanyahu&#8217;s political future overshadows voting Europe News Lula\u2019s comeback puts brakes on Latin America\u2019s rightward surge Health Health news Ebola: Uganda restricts travel [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2220381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2220381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2220381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2220381\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2220381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2220381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2220381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
