Episode Details

Canada’s cracking down on Ebola with a new travel ban: starting Monday, anyone entering from the DRC within 21 days is barred — even if they’re flying. This move, aimed at protecting Canadians and streamlining border checks for aid workers, replaces the previous 21-day self-isolation rule for travelers from the DRC, South Sudan, and Uganda. Canadians, permanent residents, and Indigenous people can still return but must undergo health checks and self-isolate for 21 days. Around 350 people from these regions arrive weekly. The U.S. and Mexico have similar bans. With over 2,180 Ebola cases and 864 deaths globally, these measures — set to last until August 29 — show border security is now top priority.
