Ugandan health authorities say a 9-year-old Congolese girl has tested positive for Ebola within Uganda after traveling from Congo.
The health ministry said in a statement Thursday that the child, who is now in isolation at a hospital in the Ugandan border district of Kasese, traveled from Congo with her mother on Wednesday.
The girl, who was showing symptoms such as a high fever, was identified and screened for Ebola at an official border crossing.
An outbreak of the highly infectious Ebola virus in eastern Congo has killed nearly 2,000 people.
