🚨🇺🇸 The U.S. is pausing visa issuance for any traveler who has been in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Uganda within 21 days of planned travel, as part of its response to contain a rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak... Key details: -Lawful permanent residents who visited those countries in the last 21 days will also be temporarily barred from entering the U.S. -The outbreak is on track to be the worst in at least a decade -As of Friday: 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths, per the WHO -The Bundibugyo strain has no authorized vaccine or treatment -It originated in conflict-ravaged Ituri province in eastern Congo, where ISIS-affiliated extremists operate -The U.S. diverted a Detroit-bound Air France flight to Canada Wednesday over a passenger's possible exposure -The U.S. allocated $23 million and will fund up to 50 treatment clinics -The CDC is coordinating with Kenya and deploying staff to Uganda -Rubio: "Objective number one is to make sure that Ebola never reaches the United States" The detail fueling debate: the outbreak wasn't identified until there were already 246 suspected cases, far past the 49-case point where the catastrophic 2014 epidemic was first caught. That 2014 outbreak still killed over 11,000 people despite the early identification. Source: Wall Street Journal
