Ebola surveillance strengthened in Rwanda as DR Congo confirms two cases

Following confirmed cases of Ebola in neighboring DR Congo, and given the escalating outbreak of the Ebola virus disease in West Africa, the Ministry of Health on Monday again reassured the public that preventive measures are in place and there should be no cause for panic. The Ministry, in a statement, reiterated that various preventive measures were already in place to contain the disease, including strengthening surveillance at all points of entry into the country, including border posts and airports.
