Published on August 8, 2019, Rwanda and Congo have taken measures to prevent the spread of the highly contagious Ebola virus.
Travel restrictions are in place for non-essential reasons, such as attending workshops and religious crusades, which require clearance from both governments.
The Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo has claimed over 1,800 lives, prompting health officials to take drastic measures.
Just last week, Rwanda briefly closed its border with Congo after a patient tested positive for Ebola in Goma, a Congolese city with a population of over 2 million people, just 4.5 miles from Rwanda's main border town of Gisenyi.
