0:55Now PlayingUganda is closing its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo as authorities try to slow the spread of Ebola.
There are now nearly 1,000 suspected cases in the DRC and at least 220 suspected deaths, and the World Health Organization has started construction on a treatment facility in the east of the country.
The Trump administration is reportedly planning to send Americans exposed to Ebola to a new facility in Kenya, instead of flying them back to the U.S., though that site has not yet been built.
