KAMPALA, Uganda – The aid group Doctors Without Borders said the first victim of the latest Ebola outbreak in Uganda was a 3-month-old girl and that of the 65 people who attended her funeral, 15 later contracted the deadly disease.
At least 11 of those who attended the baby’s funeral have since died, the group said in a statement on Wednesday.
In a national address this week, Uganda’s president urged people to avoid unnecessary contact with each other and discouraged handshakes. Doctors Without Borders said that while that is good advice people without symptoms are not contagious, and avoiding contact with others’ bodily fluids is the best way to limit an Ebola outbreak.
Ebola is highly infectious and kills quickly.
Washington will begin requiring municipalities to use “rain gardens” and pervious pavement in new urban developments to combat rainwater pollution flowing into the state’s waterways, officials announced Wednesday.
The new “low-impact development” practices will be phased in over the next few years in an attempt to minimize the fiscal impact on local governments, the state Department of Ecology said.
“Stormwater is the No. 1 water pollution problem for populated areas,” said Ted Sturdevant, director of Ecology.
The requirements will be in use in Eastern Washington by the end of 2017.
Rain gardens are planted depressions featuring soil and shrubs that allow rainwater runoff to soak into the ground. Pervious pavement also allows runoff to filter into the soil.
“It’s a whole lot easier and cheaper to prevent runoff and pollution as we plan our developments than to try to manage stormwater after the fact,” Sturdevant said.
