Uganda's Ministry of Health reported 11 suspected cases of Ebola identified in the country's Mubende district as of Tuesday. The ministry recorded one probable Ebola-related death, a one-year old, in a statement released Tuesday night.
The ministry said that samples for the one-year old and the 10 suspected cases undergoing isolation are being tested at the Uganda Virus Research Institute.
So far, 11 suspected cases, one confirmed case and six cases considered probable have been identified as of Tuesday night.
The World Health Organization WHO said on Tuesday that Uganda had declared an Ebola outbreak after a case of the relatively rare Sudan strain was found in the country. After testing a sample from a 24 year-old man in the Mubende district, the ministry said that he died after showing symptoms.
Ugandan health authorities have been investigating six suspicious deaths in the district this month.
The country has had four Ebola outbreaks that left over 200 people dead, according to WHO. Uganda borders the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is experiencing an ebola resurgence after outbreaks this year.
