The order, which is being taken under a transportation authority known as Title 49, will place U.S. citizens in Congo or those who have recently left on a “do-not-board” list until they have spent at least 21 days in a third country, the person said. Some two dozen Americans were set to board flights to the US on Tuesday after having traveled to Congo, according to the US official, who said the state department would support them and others affected during the waiting period.
Furthermore, The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Friday that a US citizen working for a humanitarian organization in Congo had tested positive for the Bundibugyo Ebola virus; one American infected in Congo was admitted to Frankfurt University Hospital in Germany early on Monday, officials said.
