Canada Temporarily Bars Entry for Foreign Nationals Recently in Congo Due to Ebola Risk The Canadian government has announced a temporary ban on entry for foreign nationals who have recently visited the Democratic Republic of Congo, citing concerns over the spread of the Ebola virus.

ET on Monday and will last until August 29, is a precautionary response to the ongoing outbreak in Congo.
