The Ugandan government has put the country on high alert as the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to spread. The health ministry has increased surveillance at border points and has activated its emergency response system to handle any potential cases. The move comes after reports of Islamic State-linked fighters killing 16 civilians in the eastern Congo, an area already affected by the Ebola outbreak.
