KAMPALA City Council has put in place several measures, including the spraying of buses from western Uganda, in a bid to curb the spread of the Ebola virus.

At the same time, the death toll of the Ebola fever has risen to 30 whereas the cumulative number of people suspected to be suffering from the fever has also risen to 116.

Mr John Lule, the public health inspector for Kampala said the authorities are encouraging transport operators to spray their vehicles. "We are in touch with Utoda and Uboa.

We have asked the operators to spray their buses' (and taxi) linings because some of the passengers could throw up in there," Mr Lule said. "The buses, especially those from the affected areas, should be sprayed from their starting points and as they leave Kampala. The tyres too should be sprayed. They should have protective gear to be used in case of an emergency."

The Ministry of Health plans to start spraying people's shoes with Jik detergent. The precautionary measures, Mr Lule said, which was arrived at a meeting between KCC and other stakeholders on Monday, take immediate effect. Mr Lule said KCC authorities are conducting impromptu visits to saloons within the city, looking for those that don't have sterilised equipment
