African country screening incoming Americans and Spaniards for Ebola
According to the U.S. Embassy in Rwanda, the tiny land-locked East African nation has begun screening passengers from the United States and Spain for the deadly virus.
From a note on the embassy's Web site:
Visitors
who have been in the United States or Spain during the last 22 days are
now required to report their medical condition — regardless of whether
they are experiencing symptoms of Ebola — by telephone by dialing 114
between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. for the duration of their visit to
Rwanda (if less than 21 days), or for the first 21 days of their visit
to Rwanda. Rwandan authorities continue to deny entry to visitors who
traveled to Guinea, Liberia, Senegal, or Sierra Leone within the past 22
days.
