The Trump administration has suspended all visa operations at U.S. embassies in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan, and invoked Title 42 to bar entry for any foreign national who visited those countries within 21 days — the first time the U.S. has imposed a blanket travel ban in response to an Ebola outbreak. The WHO's Emergency Committee has explicitly recommended against flight suspensions and entry denials, and public health experts argue the policy is epidemiologically unsound because Ebola cannot be transmitted by asymptomatic individuals, while critics warn it could slow the very containment efforts needed to end the outbreak.
