In order to reduce the spread of the deadly Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD), South Africa has imposed a travel ban for non-citizens from Ebola-hit
countries which include Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
If Nigeria did this
earlier, we would have probably saved all the lives that we have lost so far. But what can I say? Happy people,
what do you think about this ban? Remain happy and spread happiness around.
Xoxo.
Read more details below as reported by SA Breaking News…
“A total travel ban for all
non-citizens travelling from these high-risk countries (Guinea, Kenya and
Sierra Leone), unless the travel is considered absolutely essential,” he said
at a press conference.
“For citizens of South Africa who
wish to travel to these countries, they will be requested to delay their travel
unless it is absolutely essential for them to travel.”
South African citizens coming from
the affected West African countries will be subjected to a strict screening
process, and a medical examination if needs be, added Motsoaledi.
South African travellers will also
have to complete a questionnaire before they are granted access into the
country.
“If the comprehensive medical and the
temperature screening reveal something, they will have to subject themselves to
a complete medical examination,” said Motsoaledi.
Those coming from medium to low risk
countries such as Nigeria, Kenya and Ethiopia, the normal surveillance
processes will continue.
