U.S. CDC Extends Travel Restrictions Due to Ebola Outbreaks

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has prolonged its temporary ban on entry for certain foreign nationals from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan. This measure, effective for 30 days, also requires increased health screenings for U.S. citizens returning from these nations. While the immediate risk to the American public is deemed low, the CDC continues to monitor the global health situation.
