The World Health Organization says there's no evidence Ebola is spreading within Uganda after the deadly virus crossed the border from Congo this week.

Dr. Michael Ryan tells The Associated Press he believes authorities "have contained the virus" to one family. He says 27 people who may have been exposed are being followed.

Uganda says it has three suspected Ebola cases not related to the family. Two family members have died and the rest have been transferred to Congo for monitoring and treatment.

Ryan says that "I think the chances of this spreading further are low but they're not insignificant."

Ryan says that "we don't engage in any payment for access." He says they have paid for incentives and logistic support for police and others, often at the request of Congo's government.

The outbreak response has been undermined by attacks on health centers and by people suspicious of foreign aid workers.
