The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund reported on Monday that an outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever has been confirmed in Luwero district in Uganda.

The Ebola virus is one of the deadliest infections in the world and is known to kill more than 90 percent of those who are infected. The virus starts with sudden influenza-like symptoms, which eventually escalates and begins affecting more parts of the body. These symptoms keep escalating until multiple organs shut down.
