The ministry of health has started investigating a strange disease that broke out early this week in Mubende district.

The outbreak has so far killed six people and affected 11 others in the district.

The victims bleed from their noses and mouth and they feel as though something is walking in the insides of their bodies.

The ministry’s public relations officer Rukia Nakamatte says they have taken blood samples to find out what the disease is.

Nakamatte says after figuring out the cause of the disease they will find a possible solution to save the infected and non-infected.

The outbreak comes after the country was recently declared Ebola free.
