The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo announced on the 24th that individuals from the country's Ebola-affected area must complete a 21-day self-observation period before traveling domestically or internationally to reduce the risk of spreading the epidemic. After France reported a confirmed imported case from Congo on the 24th, the country's Ministry of Health has confirmed and isolated five close contacts.

The doctor did not show any abnormal symptoms during his time in Congo. The announcement said that they have contacted the French government and shared relevant data to track possible contacts. The Congo government also announced that individuals from the Ebola-affected area must complete a 21-day self-observation period before traveling domestically or internationally, and relevant departments must strengthen the management of potential exposed individuals.
