The head of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention is urging the United States to end travel restrictions imposed on Uganda due to Ebola. The agency cites the country's lack of new infections for approximately a month as justification for lifting the ban.

• Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya has written to US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr requesting the ban be lifted.
• Uganda has reported 20 Ebola cases, with its last patient discharged on July 16.
• The restrictions affect travellers who have recently been in Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan.
