Ugandan border town has been placed on high alert after one case of confirmed Ebola.
Authorities have already confirmed one case of Ebola and part of the second worst outbreak of the virus now spreading in the east of the DRC.
The authorities fear Ebola will easily pass across the deeply intertwined border communities, which share family ties, farms and markets, international organisations are working to keep the frontier on high alert.
Since Congolese authorities declared an outbreak on 1st August more than 300 people have died from the haemorrhagic fever, spread by contact with the body fluids of an infected person – with a death rate of almost 60 per cent.
