Tombura reopens border with Congo as Ebola rates decrease

Tombura State has officially reopened its border with neighbouring
Democratic Republic of Congo after several weeks of closure due to reports
of Ebola virus infections in Congo, a local official said.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday, Deputy Governor of Tombura State,
Lino Utu said the border is now open to allow free movement of people and
goods.  Utu explained that the state government decided to reopen the
common border after the situation had returned to normal in Congo.

However, he said precautionary measures which include surveillance and
screening of people crossing into South Sudan are still in place.
