Rwanda reopens border with DR Congo after closing due to Ebola deaths

KINSHASA- 2 August 2019: Rwanda has reopened its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo after closing it for several hours, a reaction to three Ebola cases, two of them fatal, in a border city in the past month, Fox News reported Friday.

The border was closed after a third case of Ebola was detected in the border city of Goma, which has a population of more than two million people and has an international airport. Two people have already died there.

The border closure comes as the crisis has already become the second-deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, with more than 1,700 people killed even though medical professionals widely use an experimental but effective Ebola vaccine.
