Mubende district — the epicenter of the epidemic — is traversed by a major highway that connects Uganda to the neighboring countries of Democratic Republic of Congo , Rwanda, Tanzania, and Kenya. Mubende district is also only 150 kilometers from the capital city, Kampala , which eventually experienced spread of the virus.
