Summary
The fight against Ebola poses a challenge in the Central African Republic. In Zemio, in the country’s south-east, proximity to the Democratic Republic of Congo has raised fears that the virus could spread across the border. But health screening remains difficult. The repeated absence of health workers at checkpoints is hampering surveillance, while residents continue to cross the border through unofficial crossing points, as FRANCE 24's team on the ground reports.
