Sixteen Dead From Ebola in Uganda

At least sixteen people have been killed by an outbreak of the ebola virus in Uganda.

Thirty more are in isolation, and over two hundred are being checked for the disease.


 Schools, and other public buildings have been closed, as authorities try to prevent it from spreading any further.

Some areas have even banned public gatherings, making buying of food and other supplies difficult for many.


Uganda has dealt with the virus several times before, in 2000 it killed 224 people.
