DHS Announces Ebola Outbreak Flight Arrival Restrictions for DRC, Uganda, South Sudan The recent outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda, and South Sudan has brought a public health crisis to global attention.
The Department of Homeland Security's decision to impose flight arrival restrictions is both a necessary measure and a symptom of a deeper issue: the inadequacy of global healthcare infrastructure.
At least 51 people have died in the outbreak, with cases reported in urban areas such as Goma and Bunia.
