Ugandan residents have been placed under a strict lockdown with a dusk-til-dawn curfew for three weeks in a bid to quell the deadly outbreak of Ebola.
President Yoweri Museveni said on Saturday the government was implementing an overnight curfew in the Mubende and Kassanda districts in central Uganda, where all movement, aside from cargos, will be halted. Curfews will also be imposed.
Places of worship, bars, gyms, saunas and other entertainment venues will close but schools will remain open in the areas affected by Ebola for 21 days.
