As Trump shuts down USAID missions, officials warn Ebola outbreak in Uganda will spread
87% Informative
Health officials in the U.S. fear the shutdown of USAID missions may have disastrous results.
USAID is set to put virtually all its staff on leave and is shutting down overseas missions.
The first confirmed case in the outbreak was a nurse at a hospital in the nation's capital, Kampala , who contracted Ebola on Jan. 20 or Jan. 21 .
Health officials say they're still facing delays or denials in getting approval to publish information or participate in external meetings.
External meetings and information sharing that health authorities usually rely on to communicate with CDC officials were canceled.
Some states have been working on informal partnerships to ramp up their own preparedness for potential cases.
