Uganda has ordered the closure of its border with Congo, where suspected Ebola cases are surging. A local Ugandan task force gave the order on Wednesday. This comes after Ugandan health workers were exposed to Ebola following the arrival of Congolese patients who crossed the border before the outbreak in Congo was declared on May 15. Uganda has so far reported seven cases of Ebola, including a 59-year-old man who died in Kampala, the country's capital, on May 14. Meanwhile, the number of suspected Ebola cases in eastern Congo is nearing 1,000. There are also at least 220 suspected deaths.
