Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has urged people to avoid physical contact, after the deadly Ebola virus claimed one life in the capital, Kampala. Fourteen people have now died since the outbreak began in western Uganda.

Ebola, one of the most virulent diseases in the world, is spread by close personal contact. People should avoid shaking hands, kissing or having sex to prevent the disease from spreading.

Uganda has seen three major Ebola outbreaks over the past 12 years. The deadliest was in 2000 when 425 people were infected. More than half of them died.

There is no vaccine for the virus. Symptoms include sudden onset of fever, weakness, headache, vomiting, and kidney problems.
