The UAE has eased entry restrictions on nationals of Uganda that were introduced in June 2026 in response to an Ebola outbreak, the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) announced, alongside the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security.
The decision follows a sustained assessment of the epidemiological situation in Uganda, including the completion of the internationally recognised monitoring period that formally marks the end of an outbreak.
Entry restrictions tied to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan will remain in place, given the ongoing epidemiological situation in both countries.
The three authorities said the UAE continues to monitor regional and international developments related to Ebola closely, and that precautionary measures will be reviewed and adjusted as the risk picture evolves.
