Uganda has closed its border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo for a period of four weeks as authorities intensify efforts to prevent the spread of an Ebola outbreak that has already crossed into the East African country.
The Ugandan government announced the closure on Wednesday, citing growing concerns over cross-border movements and the escalating Ebola situation in the eastern DRC.
