Canada Bans Travelers From Ebola Hot-Zone



Canada Bans Travelers From Ebola Hot-Zone

Canada will not process visa applications from foreign nationals who have been in Ebola-affected countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone within the previous three months.


Canada will stop issuing visas to people from the three West African nations where Ebola is widespread, the government said on Friday.

The federal citizenship ministry, explaining the move, said in an official document that "the introduction or spread of the disease would pose an imminent and severe risk to public health".

About 5,000 people have died in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone this year in the worst Ebola outbreak on record. Fears rose that the disease could spread beyond the region after a few cases were diagnosed in Spain and the United States.

Canada, which has not reported any cases of Ebola, is following in the footsteps of Australia, which on Tuesday became the first rich nation to issue such a ban.
