Rwandan Dismisses Reports of Closing Border with DRC
Rwandan Health Minister, Diane Gashumba, on Thursday dismissed reports saying Rwanda has closed its border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) over fears of Ebola outbreak.
“Rwanda has not closed its border with DRC.
“What you are reading in media is not true, but people simply misunderstood the situation at the border this morning,’’ Gashumba said.
People were delayed at the border in the morning as they were sensitised on signs and dangers of Ebola virus and measures to prevent themselves from being infected, she said.
Rwanda has closed its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after a man died of Ebola in Goma, capital city of the North Kivu province, the DRC presidency said on Thursday.
The presidency’s office said in a statement that it regretted a “unilateral decision” by the Rwandan side that restricted the movement of its citizens at the border.
The man, in his 40s, has tested positive for the deadly virus and died on Wednesday in the populated city of Goma.
He was the second confirmed Ebola case in the border city with Rwanda.
On Wednesday, a man died of the highly-contagious virus in Goma, and it is his one-yearold daughter, who is now the third confirmed case in the city of about two million.
The year-long Ebola outbreak has infected around 2,600 people and killed over 1,800 of them in the African country.
A year after the start of the deadly Ebola outbreak in Congo, a third case has been confirmed in Goma, authorities said on Thursday “There’s a third confirmed case.
