Ebola: Uganda suspends flights, road transport to Congo
Workers stand guard at the gate of the Kibuli Muslim Hospital where a Congolese man died of Ebola Bundibugyo virus in Kibuli suburb of Kampala, Uganda May 16, 2026.
Under the new measures, the government suspended ferry passenger services on the Semliki River along the Uganda-DRC border and halted cross-border public road transport for four weeks.
All flights between the two countries will also be suspended within 48 hours, as authorities intensify screening in high-risk districts.
