Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo exceeded 6,000 as the outbreak continued.
Health authorities expanded Ebola measures as Congo cases passed 2,000, deaths reached 700, and travel limits were imposed by the United States and Canada.
Beijing barred Gilbert Teodoro and his family, and the Gordie Howe bridge opening was delayed amid trade tensions.
The United States paused some entries linked to the outbreak, while Congo's toll rose and several countries added screening or flight limits.
