AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoEbola Update for Travellers: Uganda-linked Ebola fears kept spreading across borders, but fresh reports from India show suspected cases testing negative—an Ugandan woman isolated in Jaipur after Ebola-like symptoms was cleared, and another Sudanese traveller in Hyderabad also tested negative, easing immediate travel anxiety. Regional Health Measures: As the Central Africa outbreak continues to worry neighbours, South Africa’s border authority says it has intensified screening for flights from DRC and Uganda, while Kenya ramps up surveillance and confirms suspected samples at key entry points are negative. Travel Restrictions Hit Routes: The UAE suspended new visas and barred entry for travellers from Uganda, DRC and South Sudan as a precaution, and Mauritius temporarily banned entry for foreigners coming from those countries (with a mandatory 21-day quarantine for residents/citizens). Tourism & Connectivity: Amid health jitters, UNDP is pushing tourism potential around Lake Victoria Basin, aiming to link the lake region with the northern safari circuit—an effort that could support Uganda’s wider East African travel market.
