## Resource

Uganda has sealed its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo as a rare Ebola strain surges in Congo and spills over into Uganda, exposing health workers and raising fears of wider transmission. With nearly 1,000 suspected cases and over 200 deaths in Congo, and growing exposure risks within Uganda, officials are racing to contain the outbreak through contact tracing and medical monitoring — a drastic move to shield the nation from further spread.
