If this were a sane nation like we used to be, in, oh say, 1959, there would be travel bans & steps taken to protect the American nation....but now we are some kind of universal empire, so anything goes.
That's been declared racist, so there won't be anymore of that.
Oh say, 1989 even
Not to mention that in 1959 there was precious little jet travel.
Pan Am was the first up with the Boeing 707 in fall of 1958, and those flights went to London and Paris, not Africa.
It’s going to be a cruel joke if mass global jet travel proves to be the disease vector that spreads the next great plague.

There were Leper Colonies and TB Sanitariums. They were for the patients' care and to keep from spreading disease.
Probably would not be allowed now. If I had Leprosy or TB I would WANT to be where there was specific care without fear of passing disease on.
I was in Isolation once with C-Diff. Believe me, I was so sick I was glad to be isolated. I got really good care and did not feel at all slighted to be there. In isolation I didn't fear I would pass C-Diff to other patients.
