Colombia, Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago have all announced travel bans as Ebola concerns grow.
Colombian authorities announced that anyone entering their country from Ebola-stricken countries will face heavy scrutiny. Colombia’s National Health Institutes have said they developed a questionnaire to determine who should be under suspicion of potentially having contact with Ebola. Colombian newspapers have reported that some have already been detained due to the newly instituted executive actions. Fernando Ruiz, Colombia’s vice minister of health, said of the reports, “The cases are not suspicious. They are simply people who have traveled to places where Ebola is present. That is the reason for their medical observation.” He added, “The three cases are not under strict surveillance. Their temperature is measured two times a day for 21 days. At this moment, we are not alerted or worried. The individuals seem healthy. Two of them already completed their observation period.”
The Jamaican government on Thursday authorized an immediate travel ban against persons traveling from the Ebola-affected nations of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Jamaican authorities said that anyone who has traveled into the three West African countries in the last twenty-eight days is forbidden from entering their country. Jamaican citizens who have traveled to the African lands within the past twenty-eight days will be subject to quarantine.
On Thursday, the government of Trinidad and Tobago banned entry to visitors arriving from several African countries which have had documented Ebola infections. Trinidad and Tobago Health Minister Dr. Fuad Khan said that anyone arriving from Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Democratic Republic of Congo, or Nigeria will be forbidden from entry. Citizens who have traveled to those countries within the past six weeks will be quarantined for 21 days, the Health Ministry reported.

Obama and the left want Americans to become infected, its really that simple..I know that sounds crazy to some but I figured Obama out in January 2008, I knew exactly what he was and my feelings about him have not changed at all, in fact, with this Ebola epidemic, Obama refusing to ban flights tells me that he purposely wants to infect as many people as possible, majority of them being in red states..guess he didn’t think this would spread to Ohio, a state that he won but it has..there is NO other reason that anyone in their right mind(Or even their wrong mind) would want a disease like this that kills 70 percent+ of those infected unless he wants to kill us on purpose
Hmmmm.....wonder when the US will be banned from these, and other, countries. We’re stricken...with the chicken known as 0bola.
No, no, no....0’sbola made it clear, that the “Chances of Ebola Outbreak in U.S. Extremely Low” (Sept. 17, 2014)
I wouldn’t believe anything Obama said..if Obama said the sun would rise tomorrow I would have to go outside to confirm it
It wouldn’t surprise me if they’d threaten aid to any country daring to ban travel from the US.
Yes. WE all know he means just the opposite of what he actually says. Waiting for the rest of the country to catch up =/
As long as there are people who wait by their mailboxes everyday for their welfare and food stamp checks to arrive, Obama will always have support
