Canada and The Bahamas have joined the United States in imposing temporary travel restrictions linked to the Ebola outbreak affecting parts of Africa.
The new measures target travellers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and South Sudan as governments move to prevent the spread of the virus.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Canada’s Public Health Agency announced that residents from the affected countries would be barred from entering the country for 90 days beginning Wednesday.
“This will mean that even those with a previously approved temporary resident visa, electronic travel authorization (eTA) or permanent resident visa will not be allowed to travel to Canada while their immigration document is suspended,” the statement said.
