BELMOPAN, Belize (CMC) — The Government of Belize is urging individuals who have recently travelled from Ebola-affected regions, particularly in East and Central Africa, to provide accurate information about their travel history.

Although there are currently no cases of the deadly virus in Belize, the Ministry of Health and Wellness said it has heightened public health surveillance measures and is advising travellers entering the country through any port of entry to remain vigilant.

The ministry said anyone who has travelled from affected areas and develops symptoms consistent with Ebola should immediately contact health authorities.
