The Trump administration has placed US citizens in the Democratic Republic of Congo on a 'do-not-board' list, preventing their immediate return due to an ongoing Ebola outbreak. Travelers must now spend 21 days in a third country before entering the US, a measure criticized by health experts for potentially hindering transparency and humanitarian aid.
Background
Ebola outbreaks in the DRC frequently trigger international travel bans and heightened security measures, often sparking debate over their efficacy versus their economic and social costs.
