1/ I'm growing increasingly worried about #Ebola in Uganda.
Over the past few days, cases have been reported in previously unaffected districts, rates have started increasing, & the MoH sit reps were plagued w/ errors.
All signs point toward a deteriorating situation.

2/ Over the past week, confirmed Ebola cases have been reported in the Masaka and Jinja districts. This is the first time EVD cases have been reported in these districts. who.int/emergencies/di…
3/ As @sneweyy reports, when new cases show up in previously unaffected regions, that is a sign contact tracing efforts may be failing.

4/ On Nov. 6th, two healthcare workers died and Ebola was listed as the probable cause.
As @HelenBranswell noted, the Uganda MoH is not including probable cases in their official count. These omissions provide a false sense of security.

5/ Data from @globaldothealth show that the rate of new cases has started climbing. Coupled with the spread to new districts, signs are pointing toward an outbreak that is getting out-of-control. 
6/ Reports from the MoH have become increasingly erratic and error prone over the past 10 days. Stopping the spread of Ebola requires high-quality data. It's clear that the MoH needs support.

1. Cases in previously unaffected regions.
2. New healthcare worker deaths.
3. Emerging data problems.
4. Increasing case rates.
All point towards a much worse situation in Uganda and highlight the need for international collaboration to stop this outbreak!
