In light of the outbreak of the deadly Ebola hemorrhagic fever, the Government of Rwanda has put in place strict measures that will ensure the health and safety of Rwandans. US citizens have also joined the list of visitors being screened for the deadly disease.According to a message posted on the US Embassy in Rwanda website, the country is also screening visitors from Liberia, Guinea,Sierra Leone and Spain...
“We urge U.S. citizens who may have a fever or who have traveled to countries where an Ebola outbreak has occurred to weigh carefully whether travel to Rwanda at this time is prudent given measures to screen incoming visitors.”“As a reminder, we strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Rwanda enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) at www.Travel.State.gov.STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes it easier for the U.S. embassy or nearest U.S. consulate to contact you in an emergency. If you don’t have Internet access, enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate,” the statement added.This is coming after American business magnate and television personality Donald Trump have slammed Obama for not blocking all flights from West Africa.
