Air France Detroit flight diverted to Montreal amid Ebola-entry restrictions
An Air France flight from Paris to Detroit was diverted to Montreal after a passenger who had recently been in Ebola-affected East Africa was blocked from entering the United States under new entry rules; the traveler was escorted off in Montreal and the flight resumed to Detroit with no medical emergency reported. The move comes amid a 30-day U.S. travel ban on non-U.S. passport holders from the Congo, South Sudan and Uganda and enhanced screening for those arriving from those countries, as WHO monitors an Ebola outbreak with dozens of confirmed cases and deaths.
