The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is imposing travel restrictions on
“Americans and international travelers, coming from countries affected by the Ebola outbreak.”
As NPR's Jonathan Lambert reports, only U.S. citizens and nationals are guaranteed entry into the country."
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is already the third largest on record,
with more than 800 suspected cases. On Friday, CDC announced that anyone coming to the U.S. from DRC, Uganda, or South Sudan would need to be screened at selected U.S. airports. Those include Washington Dollars International Airport, Hartfield Jackson, Atlanta International Airport, and screening begins at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on Tuesday.
Travelers will be screened by CDC officials for any symptoms. The restrictions allow CDC officials to deny entry-determined U.S. residents. On a press call Friday, CDC's Ebola Response Manager Satish Ply said that the risk to the U.S. remains low. Jonathan Lambert and PR News

they are, how talented they are, and they needed somebody to give them a voice and a public space to show their art.
