## Resource

Uganda just slammed shut its border with the DRC—no exceptions, no delays—as rare Ebola cases surge across the Congo and now spill into Uganda. Spearheaded by the Vice-President’s emergency task force, the move comes after Ugandan health workers were exposed handling Congolese patients who crossed before the outbreak was even declared. This is a wake-up call: borders blur, viruses don’t wait, and when Ebola’s on the move, drastic action is the only safe bet. Now, containment is everything—exposed folks need care, and the world is watching to see if this border wall can stop the spread.
