According to the Health Ministry, the latest cases involve an Ugandan driver who transported the country’s first confirmed Ebola patient, as well as a healthcare worker who was exposed while caring for the same individual.
Officials said the newly infected persons are currently receiving treatment as authorities intensify efforts to trace contacts and contain the spread of the virus.
The ministry added that surveillance and monitoring measures have been strengthened in affected areas to prevent further transmission.
Uganda first announced an Ebola outbreak earlier this year, prompting heightened concern among health officials as the country works to stop the disease from spreading further.
