The Ministry of Health and Wellness is urging Jamaicans to avoid travelling to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda following the World Health Organization’s declaration of an Ebola Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
“The Ministry of Health and Wellness wishes to advise members of the public to review their travel plans and avoid traveling to or transiting through affected countries,” the ministry said in a public advisory on Tuesday.
The health ministry said that although the WHO has assessed the risk as high in the African region and low globally, port-of-entry surveillance in Jamaica has been enhanced.
