The authorities in Angola have closed part of the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo to prevent the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

Angolan officials said all movement of people from northern Luande Norte province to DR Congo would be stopped.

The outbreak in DR Congo was the first in Africa in several months and the fourth in DR Congo since 1976.

Ebola is a highly infectious fever which causes vomiting, diarrhoea, and internal and external bleeding. The disease kills 80 per cent of those it infects and there is no known cure.
