      Twenty two people have so far died of the fever.

"Cumulatively, we have got 101 cases of Ebola -- those who fit the case definition," Kabwa said, adding that all were in western Uganda's Bundibugyo district, except for two in Kampala, including a doctor who died.

He said 39 had been admitted to hospital in serious condition and 350 others suspected of having been exposed to the virus were being urged to stay at home.

"They are being observed because they are possible contacts with Ebola cases," Kabwa said. "They are not being confined."

The outbreak, which started in August, has sparked panic amongst officials, health workers and the public.
