Cameroonian health officials say they have discovered two probable cases of the Marburg virus along the border with Equatorial Guinea, where the fatal hemorrhagic fever is raging.
Neither of them had crossed the border before.
Officials are now attempting to locate everyone with whom they have had touch.
The World Health Organization has dispatched additional contact tracing teams to eastern Equatorial Guinea in an attempt to curb the virus’s spread.
In Equatorial Guinea, nine people are thought to have died from the sickness, with another 16 suspected cases.
Movement restrictions have previously been imposed along Cameroon’s southern border.
