Tightening the Gate: The Complex Response to Ebola's African Outbreak The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced plans to tighten entry restrictions on foreign travelers from countries at the epicenter of the latest Ebola outbreak.
This move aims to reduce the risk of the virus spreading, but it also raises questions about its effectiveness in containing a highly contagious disease.
The new rule, set to take effect this Thursday, will direct passengers from Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan to Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia for enhanced public health screening.
