The border between the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Rwandan city of Gisenyi has been closed to stop the spread of Ebola, witnesses have told the BBC.
It comes a day after a second person died of the virus in Goma, which is home to about two million people. A third person, the young daughter of the man who died on Wednesday, is also reported to have tested positive for Ebola.
Traders on the Rwandan side were not able to cross the border on Thursday morning, a local journalist told the BBC Great Lakes service.
