The United States announces new travel restrictions tied to an ongoing Ebola outbreak in parts of Africa. Multiple outlets report that the measures affect people who do not hold U.S. passports and who have recently been in countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, and Uganda. Under the policy, such travelers are restricted from entering the United States based on their prior travel history linked to the outbreak regions.
Forbes and CBS News both describe the announcement as an Ebola-related entry restriction implemented by the Trump administration. The reporting indicates the restrictions are designed to limit the risk of introducing Ebola through travel from affected areas while the outbreak continues. The details shared across the sources focus on who is covered—non–U.S.-passport holders—and on the specific countries whose recent travel triggers the restriction.
Neither source provides a broader breakdown of enforcement mechanisms, timelines, or exemptions beyond noting the passport-related entry condition. The measures are presented as part of the U.S. response to the current Ebola situation in the listed countries.
