Uganda Scurries to Curb Spread of Ebola


Ugandan health officials are monitoring over 200 people who had close contact with Ebola patients, as the country attempts to curb the spread of the deadly disease. But, residents in parts of western Uganda say they are too scared to go shopping or to visit churches or mosques. They fear that they will contract the virus, which has claimed 16 lives since early July. Al Jazeera's Malcolm Webb reports from Entebbe, where scientists are trying to contain the outbreak.
