The U.S. has expanded its Ebola travel ban to include citizens, green‑card holders, and permanent residents from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan after a WHO elevated the Bundibugyo strain to very high risk.

    1. Africa CDC believes that if this disease had predominantly threatened wealthier regions of the world, medical countermeasures would likely already be available.
    2. Such measures can create fear, damage economies, discourage transparency, complicate humanitarian and health operations, and divert movement toward informal and unmonitored routes – potentially increasing public health risks rather than reducing them.

    1. Applying this authority to lawful permanent residents for a limited period of time provides a balance between protecting public health and ⁠managing emergency response resources.

    1. Travel bans don't stop viruses, they stop solidarity. The fastest way to protect everyone is to invest in outbreak control at the source, not isolate the affected. Africa needs partnership, not punishment.
