Ebola travel ban under fire as experts warn it could undermine outbreak response
Critics argue that a U.S. travel ban on travelers from the DRC, Uganda and South Sudan during the Ebola outbreak could impede response efforts and disrupt humanitarian work; Africa CDC warns that generalized border closures are not a solution and may worsen the outbreak by driving movement to unmonitored routes, while noting there are no vaccines or treatments for the Bundibugyo strain and urging investment in outbreak control at the source rather than travel bans.
