Mlandu womwe wafotokozedwa m'manyuzipepala ndi woyamba mwa mtundu wake ndipo, chifukwa chake, wadzipatula. Tikudikirirabe mpaka gulu la akatswiri litatsimikizira kuti mlendo yemwe watchulidwayo adadwala matenda a Marburg kuchokera ku mileme yomwe ili m'mapanga a Maramagambo.

UWA imaganizira kwambiri za thanzi, chitetezo ndi thanzi la alendo obwera ku malo osungirako zachilengedwe komanso antchito athu, kuphatikiza madera ozungulira malo osungirako zachilengedwe.

Kuchuluka kwawo usiku akamapita kukadyetsa kumakhala kwakukulu. Izi zikutanthauza kuti pali kuyanjana kwakukulu pakati pa mileme ndi anthu mosalunjika komanso mwa apo ndi apo mwachindunji ndipo, chifukwa chake, akadakhala onyamula Marburg, tikanawona mliri ku Uganda, koma izi sizikusiya kufufuza kosalekeza.

Pankhani yokhudza phanga la mileme m’nkhalango ya Maramagambo, UWA idalankhula kale ndi National Task Force kuti ithandize kufufuza nkhaniyi mwachangu.
