Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni said on Saturday the government is implementing an overnight curfew, closing places of worship and entertainment, and prohibiting movement into and out of two districts affected by Ebola for 21 days.
The measures aimed at curbing the spread of the disease will be introduced immediately in Mubende and Kassanda in central Uganda, the epicentre of the epidemic, Museveni said in a televised national address.
"These are temporary measures to control the spread of Ebola. We should all co-operate with authorities so we bring this outbreak to an end in the shortest possible time."
