World Cup: USA, Mexico and Canada announce travel measures to contain the risk of Ebola contagion

Ebola outbreak worries the world
The United States, Mexico and Canada announced this Thursday (28) public health measures for travel aimed at people coming from African regions at greater risk of Ebola contagion, according to a joint statement, with the aim of protecting citizens and visitors during the World Cup.
Earlier, this Thursday, Donald Trump's government announced that it is negotiating with Kenya the creation of a quarantine center for American citizens exposed to the virus Ebola during the outbreak affecting the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The measure is part of the strategy adopted by the United States to prevent potentially infected people from immediately returning to the country. According to American officials interviewed by Reuters, those exposed to the virus would be monitored on Kenyan territory before being allowed to return home.
The Kenyan government has not yet approved the plan.
On Wednesday (27), during a cabinet meeting at the White House, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the United States intends to prevent cases of the disease from entering the country.
"We cannot and will not allow any case of Ebola to enter the United States", said.
