Now An African Country Is Screening Incoming Americans And Spaniards For Ebola by adegwurulez(m): 2:40pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
On October 19, the Rwandan Ministry of Health introduced new Ebola Virus Disease screening requirements. Visitors who have been in the United States or Spain during the last 22 days are now required to report their medical condition—regardless of whether they are experiencing symptoms of Ebola—by telephone by dialing 114 between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. for the duration of their visit to Rwanda (if less than 21 days), or for the first 21 days of their visit to Rwanda. Rwandan authorities continue to deny entry to visitors who traveled to Guinea, Liberia, Senegal, or Sierra Leone within the past 22 days. The following information is repeated from our August 31, 2014 security message to U.S. citizens: The Government of Rwanda screens each visitor entering Rwanda for symptoms of Ebola at its land borders and at the Kigali International Airport. The screening includes taking each visitor’s body temperature via a laser thermometer. Each visitor must also complete a detailed questionnaire concerning whether they have any symptoms of illness and where they have traveled in the past 22 days. Visitors who exhibit a high temperature (above 37.5 degrees Celsius or 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit) will not be permitted to enter Rwanda; returning residents may be placed in isolation. Visitors who have traveled to Guinea, Liberia, Senegal, or Sierra Leone within the past 22 days may be denied entry, and if traveling by air, may be denied boarding at the originating or transit airport. Visitors who have recently traveled to places where Ebola outbreaks have occurred in the past (such as the Democratic Republic of Congo or Uganda), or who were in contact with someone who may have been infected with Ebola, may be placed in isolation. We urge U.S. citizens who may have a fever or who have traveled to countries where an Ebola outbreak has occurred to weigh carefully whether travel to Rwanda at this time is prudent given measures to screen incoming visitors. Please note neither the Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs nor the U.S. Embassy have authority over quarantine issues and cannot prevent a U.S. citizen from being quarantined should local health authorities require it. rwanda.usembassy.gov/mobile/sm-102114.html www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/10/21/now-an-african-country-is-screening-incoming-americans-and-spaniards-for-ebola/ 2 Likes |

Its quite certain that fortunes turn and also a truism that no man does know it all. This is just a clue to the puzzle created by the feeling of superiority. We may not be important but we really are. More grease to the elbows of all the African countries that have kicked out the Ebola Virus |
