Canadian Government Imposes Self-Isolation for Travelers from Ebola-Affected Regions
The Canadian government has announced that travelers arriving from regions affected by the Ebola outbreak, specifically Congo, Sudan, and Uganda, will be required to self-isolate for 21 days. This measure, announced by Luc Brisebois, director-general for the Centre for Border and Travel Health at the Public Health Agency of Canada, is being implemented as a precautionary step and will remain in effect until August 29. Additionally, Canadian immigration authorities are temporarily suspending decisions on applications from these countries for 90 days, with the possibility of extension depending on the outbreak's progression. The World Health Organization has reported that the outbreak, centered in northeastern Congo, involves a rare strain of Ebola that is spreading rapidly, with over 900 suspected cases and more than 220 deaths. The Canadian government is also providing isolation facilities for travelers who do not have a place to self-isolate.
