In a proactive move to combat rising Ebola threats, Uganda has implemented stringent border controls with the DRC. Only essential workers and freight can cross, provided they undergo rigorous health screenings. Those returning home must adhere to a mandatory 21-day isolation period. Educational institutions at the border continue to function, prioritizing student health with daily temperature checks.
