There are different measures that have been taken to contain this disease. In the first place, the national authorities have quarantined the remote villages like the northern Bas-Uele Province which have experienced an outbreak of the dreaded disease (Agency Report, 2017).  Also, the DR of Congo government, in conjunction with the WHO authorities, has moved to reinforce systems of communication in order to ensure that citizens who show symptoms of the disease are immediately quarantined to prevent it from spreading.
