在今天(14日)举行的国台办新闻发布会上,发言人朱凤莲介绍了台湾同胞相关领事保护工作情况。朱凤莲指出,自台湾媒体曝光民进党当局无视台湾民众遭诱骗赴柬埔寨被囚禁殴打事件以来,大陆方面加大了对在柬台胞的领事保护,相关单位竭诚相助,与柬相关部门保持密切沟通,全力保护台湾同胞在柬安全和合法权益。 Kampala, Oct 22 (UNI) Three people among the 60 under quarantine at a Ugandan national referral hospital in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, have tested positive for Ebola virus disease, a top official said here on Saturday.
Minister of Health Ruth Aceng in a tweet said the three who were at an isolation facility at Mulago National Referral Hospital tested positive on Friday.
She said they were contacts to a confirmed case that had earlier passed on at the hospital.
The minister said the three will be transferred to Entebbe Isolation Unit, 40 km south of Kampala, since the Mulago unit still has contacts under quarantine.
"Let's remain vigilant and report anybody with symptoms similar to Ebola. Together we can end this epidemic," Aceng said.
The government has already put Kampala under a high response alert in case cases start increasing.
The ministry on Thursday gave envoys accredited to the country a guided tour of the Ebola treatment units, in a show of preparedness that the country is ready to combat and win the battle against the disease.
The Ministry of Health figures on Thursday showed that the country has so far registered 65 positive cases and 27 deaths since the outbreak was reported on September 20.
