U.S. bans entry for travelers from Ebola-affected countries

The U.S. has imposed an entry ban on foreign travelers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan due to a fast-moving Ebola outbreak. The ban applies to anyone who was in those countries in the past 21 days, with exceptions for American citizens and members of the Army. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the order to prevent Ebola cases from entering the United States.
