Scores isolated after new Ebola outbreak in Uganda Nov 15th 2012, 08:30 Published November 15, 2012 Associated Press KAMPALA, Uganda –  Ugandan and World Health Organization officials say they have isolated scores of people after a new outbreak of Ebola killed two people in a district near the Ugandan capital. The officials said Thursday that the "contact list" of possible Ebola patients had increased to 15 the day after it was confirmed that the disease was infecting people in Luweero, a district only 62 kilometers (38 miles) from Kampala. Two of the Ebola cases are being treated at a Kampala hospital. Officials urged calm, saying the government is working closely with experienced partners to stem the spread of Ebola. Uganda last month declared itself Ebola-free following an earlier outbreak that they say is not linked to the latest one. Ebola hemorrhagic fever is highly infectious and kills quickly.
