Uganda has ordered an immediate closure of its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo in response to a surge of suspected cases of a rare strain of Ebola. The move comes as Ugandan health officials report new infections, bringing the total to several confirmed cases. Neighboring countries are also implementing precautionary measures to prevent the outbreak from spreading further. International airlines have been urged to adhere to safety protocols as the situation escalates, with health experts warning that the threat extends beyond public health concerns.
