The panic over a possible spread of Ebola in the United States of America has forced the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to announce a travelers ban on 3 Ebola stricken Countries in West Africa.

Travelers from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are being forced to travel through the five airports previously announced as Ebola screening centers for international travelers, officials said in a statement.
Those five airports are New York-JFK, Newark Liberty, Washington, D.C. Dulles, Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson and Chicago O’Hare.
All passengers taking flights from West Africa to these five airports will be subject to “secondary screening and added protocols, including having their temperature taken, before they can be admitted into the United States,” officials said.
NigerianFm is monitoring this development.
