Uganda confirmed two new Ebola cases on Friday, bringing the total to nine -- including one fatality -- since the outbreak was declared on May 15 in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
The health ministry said the two new cases are both Congolese nationals.
One presented Ebola symptoms and was immediately isolated, while the other was a contact of a previously confirmed case.
