An expanding Ebola outbreak in the northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo has prompted neighboring Uganda to halt all flights and public transport to and from the country, as well as suspend weekly markets in western Uganda, though cross-border transport of food and goods remains permitted, Bloomberg reported May 22. Rwanda also barred entry to foreign nationals arriving from Congo. This follows reports from Congolese authorities that Ebola-related fatalities in the country had reached 160 as of May 21, and an incident near Bunia where angry residents set fire to an Ebola treatment center after medics refused to release a deceased victim's body.
