Masaka City Ebola task force is struggling to trace contacts of the 23-year-old first victim in the region who succumbed to the virus after being evacuated to Entebbe treatment centre on Wednesday morning.


The Masaka City Resident Commissioner, Mr Ronald Katende says that although they managed to get the key contacts, they are having an uphill task to trace all the people that interacted with the victim on her way from Kabowa in Kampala to Masaka on October 31.


Mr Katende, however, said he is going to convene a task force meeting soon to discuss how they are going to further handle the issue of contact tracing and the fate of the clinic where the 23-year-old female victim was first admitted before being referred to Masaka Regional Referral Hospital.
