Rwanda closes key border crossings in a bid to stop the spread of Ebola Bundibugyo as Ebola reaches Goma. Cross-border traffic between Goma, the capital of North Kivu province in eastern DRC, and Rwanda’s Rubavu-Gisenyi area was suspended Sunday morning at border posts, Xinhua correspondents observed. The closure paralyzed exchanges across one of the busiest crossings between the two countries. Prosper Mulindwa, mayor of Rubavu District in Rwanda’s Western Province, told local media that the closure of the borders would remain in place for an indefinite period as part of measures aimed at preventing the spread of Ebola. “The borders connecting Goma and Gisenyi have been temporarily closed in response to the Ebola outbreak. We will continue engaging with our residents to explain why this decision was made,” Mulindwa said. At this stage, only Congolese and Rwandan nationals returning to their respective countries are allowed to cross, while other movements remain suspended pending further guidance, according to a diplomatic source. https://english.news.cn/20260517/c97c9ec3739948c49205b8bb7cdf56cb/c.html Uganda Ebola cases rises to 5 Cases rise in Ebola outbreak Rwanda Closes Border Crossings Questions about Ebola Is there a vaccine for Ebola ?
