June 1 (UPI) -- As the Democratic Republic of the Congo neared declaring an Ebola outbreak in its eastern provinces over, health officials on Monday announced a new cluster has emerged on the other side of the African nation.
It is unclear how the outbreak began in the western port city of Mbandaka, but at least five people have died from the disease, officials said.
The World Health Organization first reported four deaths to the virus followed by UNICEF stating in a release that five people, including a 15-year-old girl, had died between May 18 and Sunday when health officials confirmed they were Ebola-related fatalities.

Sorry I didn't think about that. I was thinking from continent to continent. I forgot about land borders.

I'm no expert but I think ebola kills too quickly, and the symptoms are unmistakable.
Ebola is a terrible killer in 3rd world countries, but would be contained fairly quickly in a 1st world country.
