  The Uganda Ministry of Health (MOH) announced the first positive case of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Uganda in 2022 caused by Sudan virus (species Sudan ebolavirus) on September 20. At this time, there are no confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease related to this outbreak reported in the United States or other countries outside Uganda, and the current geographic scope of this outbreak in Uganda is small. As part of the U.S.’s efforts to address this outbreak with the international community, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Agency for International Aid and Development (USAID) are working closely with local, national, and international partners to ensure the response efforts to the Uganda outbreak are well integrated and aligned to address and contain the outbreak in Uganda, as well as keep the United States protected.
  
  Since September 20, 2022, CDC has intensified surveillance efforts in the affected districts and is working with the Ministry of Health on enhancing the country’s preparedness efforts.
