CDC widens Ebola travel ban to include green-card holders who visited outbreak countries
TL;DR Summary
The CDC expanded its Ebola-related entry ban to include lawful permanent residents who have been in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan within the last 21 days, with the measure running through mid‑June as part of a response to the Bundibugyo outbreak; it adds to strict screenings at U.S. entry points (including for Americans returning via Dulles) and follows one of the strictest Ebola measures in recent outbreaks, which have generated hundreds of suspected cases and dozens of deaths.
