On Twitter Monday, the health ministry said 2 new cases were confirmed, putting the outbreak total at 36 cases, 18 of them confirmed and 18 listed as probable. So far, 23 patients have died, including 5 who had confirmed Ebola infections.

Thirty-five people have been admitted for medical care.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says the outbreak location poses a risk of further spread, because it is on a busy road that leads to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and because the area contains gold mines that attract people from within and outside of Uganda.
