Rwanda reopens border with DR Congo

Rwanda has reopened its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, where an Ebola outbreak has killed more than 1,800 people in the last year.
 
The border was closed for several hours after the confirmation of a third case of Ebola in the Congolese city of Goma, where two people have already died.
 
Last month, the World Health Organisation designated the outbreak of Ebola a global health emergency, its highest level of alarm, but warned against trying to contain the virus by closing borders or restricting travel or trade.
 
At least 2,700 people have so far been infected in DR Congo.
 
The World Health Organisation says about 12 new cases are being reported daily in the country.
