US tightens Ebola travel rules
The United States has implemented temporary travel procedures by imposing restrictions on travelers returning from Uganda, South Sudan, and the Congo to reduce the risk of Ebola virus transmission. The measures include directing travelers from Uganda and South Sudan (but not Congo) who have visited the region within 21 days prior to arriving at specific airports to undergo health screenings, while passengers from Congo who visited the area are prevented from boarding U.S. flights and must remain outside the United States for 21 days. If Ebola infection is suspected, the individual is hospitalized for isolation and treatment, and additional local health measures are enforced before allowing them to leave.
