North Korea reopens borders after months-long Ebola shutdown

By James Pearson SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea officially reopened its borders on Tuesday to foreign tourists and businessmen nearly five months after shutting them over fear of the deadly Ebola virus, tour agencies and a diplomatic source told Reuters. "We've had it confirmed officially that the border is now open," said Troy Collings, manager of the China-based Young Pioneer Tours, which takes Western tourists into North Korea. North Korea is one of the world's most isolated countries and is thousands of miles from the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
