Jamaica bans travelers from Ebola-hit nations
Source: Al Jazeera
Jamaica has ordered an immediate ban on people who have traveled through the Ebola-affected countries of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, joining a growing number of states to impose such restrictions.
The ministry of national security said in a statement on Thursday that the ban covered "certain persons traveling directly or indirectly, from or through" those West African countries, where nearly 4,500 people have died of the disease.
News of the ban comes as opposition Republican politicians in the United States called on President Barack Obama to impose a similar ban, after two nurses who cared for Liberian patient Thomas Eric Duncan contracted the virus. Duncan later died of the disease.
Aside from Jamaica, another South American country, Guyana, said it had denied entry to citizens from the West African states, as well as Nigeria, for the past five weeks. Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia and St. Lucia took similar steps earlier this week.
