Jamaica Warns Against Travel To Ebola-Hit DRC And Uganda

Jamaica's Ministry of Health and Wellness is advising people not to visit countries now dealing with Ebola outbreaks.

The warning comes after the World Health Organization classified Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda as a global health emergency.

Local health authorities have increased screening at Jamaica's arrival points and are tracking recent visitors from affected locations.

The ministry is also asking the public to get updates and health advice only from official channels.
