KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Ministry of Health and Wellness is urging the public to reconsider travel plans and avoid visiting or transiting through countries affected by the Ebola outbreak.
The advisory comes after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda a public health emergency of international concern.
While the WHO has assessed the risk as high within the African region but low globally, the ministry said it has strengthened health surveillance measures at the nation’s ports of entry.
