President Yoweri Museveni on Wednesday ruled out imposing a lockdown to combat the Ebola virus that has been detected in Uganda, saying the country has the capacity to contain the outbreak.

Ugandan authorities said cases of the highly contagious disease were spotted in the central Mubende region last week.
