The United States has imposed a travel ban on its citizens and foreigners coming from Uganda, Congo, and South Sudan.

This follows the confirmation that a US missionary tested positive for the Ebola virus in the Republic of Congo.

The said missionary and six of her companions will not be allowed to return to the US for the time being. Instead, they will be sent to Germany for treatment and recovery.

Officials assured the public that there is no cause for alarm as there are no recorded cases of the Ebola virus within their country.

"That American, as well as 6 high-risk contacts are going to be taken out of that region and taken to Germany. That is an internationally recognized location for viral hemorrhagic fever treatment. For all other Americans, we issued travel warnings. Right now there are no cases of Ebola in America, we want to keep it that way. And we want to make sure to support all Americans in that region," said Dr. Heidi Overton, Chief Policy Officer of the America First Policy Institute. 

(Ang Amerikanong iyon, kasama ang anim na high-risk contacts, ay ilalabas sa rehiyong iyon at dadalhin sa Germany — isang internasyonal na kinikilalang lokasyon para sa paggamot ng viral hemorrhagic fever. Para sa lahat ng iba pang Amerikano, naglabas kami ng travel warnings. Sa ngayon, walang naitatalang kaso ng Ebola sa Amerika at nais naming panatilihing ganoon. Nais din naming tiyakin na nasusuportahan ang lahat ng mga Amerikano sa rehiyong iyon.)
