34 trainee medical personnel claimed they were refusing to work and charged the government with failing to provide them with the necessary safety equipment.
Since an epidemic was reported last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that there have been 36 Ebola cases in Uganda, including 18 confirmed cases and 18 suspected cases.
It stated that 23 deaths, of which five were confirmed instances, had happened in three areas of central Uganda.
The WHO said this was the first Ebola outbreak in Uganda since 2012 caused by the Sudan strain of the disease, for which there are no licensed vaccines.
On Monday, Uganda denied reports of a strike by medical staff at the Mubende hospital.
Thirty-four trainee medical staff said they were refusing to work and accused the government of not providing them with appropriate safety kits.
