Jamaica Bans Travelers From Ebola-Hit Nations

Jamaica has ordered an immediate ban on people who have traveled through the Ebola-affected countries of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, joining a growing number of states to impose such restrictions. The ministry of national security said in a statement on Thursday that the ban covered "certain persons traveling directly or indirectly, from or through" those West African countries, where nearly 4,500 people have died of the disease.
