 The Ugandan Ministry of Health has confirmed a polio outbreak in the country. The polio viruses were established last month from two samples collected on June the 1st from sewage plants in Kampala. Sequencing tests was done in South Africa on the two samples. The virus is classified as an orphan with 28 changes from the closest match of mutants. This means that it is likely to have been circulating in the country for two years.
