SOUTH AFRICA BANS TRAVELLERS OVER EBOLA



Following the outbreak of Ebola virus in West Africa, South Africa has issued a ban on non-citizens travelling from three West African countries worst affected by Ebola.

According to a health ministry statement released moments ago, the country declared “a total travel ban for all non-citizens travelling from these high risk countries,” referring to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.


It was gathered from the statement that South Africans returning home from these areas will undergo strict screening.

South African authorities also barred non-essential travel to the three West African countries.
