Colombia's Foreign Ministry issued a brief statement saying the country was barring entry by any travellers requiring visas who have been in five African nations with Ebola outbreaks -- Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Senegal. It said the step was being taken at the recommendation of Colombia's National Institute of Health.

Meanwhile, St. Lucia Prime Minister Kenny Anthony said all visitors from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone were prohibited from entering his country until the Ebola outbreak is brought under control, saying the ban will minimize chances for the deadly disease to be introduced by an infected traveler.

He said an outbreak of the virus would be devastating for the country of 200,000 people, where tourism accounts for more than 60 percent of gross domestic product.

Passengers from a fourth West African nation, Nigeria, will be required to present a "recent medical certificate" clearing them of the virus, Anthony said. Specifics of how this might work were not immediately provided.

Nigeria is free of Ebola and more countries should be scared of US or Spain..Than Nigeria.... My Opinion

You are right

You are right. Just imagine if the virus is still in Nigeria. Am happy we have overcome it. One day, our money and economy will be better. Then we will treat them the same way. Am not talking about Columbia but other countries.

Mschew!!! Wat is happening in columbia, who wants to evn go there sef.

.
Colombia of all countries? Nigerians sha. If Hell was a country on Earth, Nigerians would queue to get the visa.


Again, how is the U.S & Spain Ebola different from the one in Africa?

Ok

Why is USA not included

Why nau? But Obama is currently in trouble because he he hugged and touched two nurses treating Ebola...Read that one Here

When are they going to stop this? Thought US announced that we've successfully contained it?

Am smelling something.

O k

Who cares about Colombia, if USA places ban on Nigeria I'd listen not dt drug country, irrelevant poo

crap country, who wants to go there except crack heads.

please which country is called Colombia?

See how deep they think?

Ban a country that is ebola free but let the ones infested free access.


Fools!

okay. BTW, the population is 200,000 that means Nigeria is made up of 36 different countries or more sef not to talk of the US, China, Brazil or Russia. Who gave them independence sef? Time for Nigeria to go and colonise them

Naija is ebola free...let me see wat dey will do about america dats currently facing it.

.

If not for the dreaded ebola, where on earth is Colombia?
Smh
I don't wish them evil but when it comes to ebola no country should be overlooked.

Where is Colombia

Abeg wetin I dey find for Colombia nw? Na drugs I wan do ni? Dem just dey find recognition ni jare.

Bad news for drug lords.

Just as WHO is about to declare Nigeria an Ebola free country?

Because of Ebola?

They don't need Ebola, they have gang and drug lords to kill them all.

Rubbish

shiorrr!

Which Country is that? Never heard about it before.

They are refusing Nigerians visa. Hope if(God forbid) the virus eventually gets in to their country they will not come to us to learn what we did.

Anyway I pray it doesn't.

As much as I never have any intentions of ever visiting Colombia, I gotta say they're being dramatic. KMT!!!

colombiaa weed country?drug producers??well only meant for drug pushers..colombia ko,cambodia ni
