Canada to Temporarily Bar Entry for Foreigners Recently in Congo, Against UN Advice

Canada is set to temporarily bar entry for foreign nationals who have recently been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, tightening border controls amid an Ebola outbreak risk. The policy, announced by Canadian authorities, applies to people arriving from the DRC within a recent time window and is framed as a precautionary public-health measure. The decision has drawn criticism because the World Health Organization continues to advise against travel restrictions during Ebola outbreaks. Canada said the measure is temporary and will be reviewed as conditions change.
