Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has said the government will not impose a lockdown over Ebola outbreak.
He however, urged the public to stay vigilant and observe the safety measures in place.
"Regarding the Ebola situation, first of all, there will be no lockdown," he tweeted on Friday.
"Therefore, people should go ahead and concentrate on their work without worry. However, we should be more vigilant and observe the SOPs put in place to control the Ebola spread," Museveni stated.
His remarks come a week after the Africa Center for Disease Control and Prevention said the outbreak was being handled and assured there was no danger of "getting out of hand".
According to Bloomberg news agency, Ahmed Ogwell Ouma, the body's acting head told journalists that a successful contact-tracing campaign was keeping the spread under control.
The country's two high risk districts; Mubende and Kassanda, are still recovering from a three-week lockdown that was imposed on October 16.
The outbreak which begun in early September has claimed over 30 lives.
Uganda's health ministry has recorded over 109 cases.
Viruses can spread faster in densely populated areas and this particular strain of Ebola - called the Sudan strain - has no vaccine yet.
