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.

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
