Ebola Reaches Seventh DRC Province via Cross-Border Travel
Ebola has spread to a seventh province in the Democratic Republic of Congo after an infected person travelled through both Rwanda and Uganda before the outbreak was contained. The cross-border movement significantly complicates containment efforts and raises the risk of wider regional spread. The Congolese government has insisted case numbers are declining, a claim that sits uneasily with the disease's continued geographic expansion.
