So there are no more active infections?

Or is Uganda similar to Russia in that they declare desires in the same way Michael Scott declared bankruptcy?

No new infections reported in 42 days, which is twice the maximum incubation period of the Ebola virus.

Of course it’s impossible to be 100% certain there aren’t infections that haven’t been caught, but it seems reasonable to declare the outbreak over with the information they have.
