  "account": "Uganda's Ministry of Health has requested detailed travel information from Nigeria regarding a Nigerian woman who has tested positive for Ebola. The woman visited Uganda in early October for business, then transited through the country before arriving in Nigeria. Preliminary reports indicate she did not show symptoms while in Uganda but developed them upon arrival in Nigeria, where her infection was confirmed. The Ugandan government stresses that her transit through Uganda does not confirm she contracted the virus there, and the source of infection remains under investigation. Nigerian authorities have not yet provided the Uganda government with the detailed travel itinerary and clinical history of the woman. They are working to strengthen screening and public health controls at points of entry and urge the public to remain calm and vigilant. The statement also advises regular handwashing and sanitizing.",
