US implements temporary travel restrictions to curb Ebola risk
The United States has implemented temporary travel restrictions for 30 days to mitigate the risk of Ebola spread due to an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The restrictions apply to travelers from the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan but do not affect US citizens and certain other groups. The CDC assesses the immediate risk to the general US public as low, while enhancing monitoring and response efforts.
