U.S citizens to be screened for Ebola in Rwanda

Ebola Screening

In the wake of the deadly hemorrhagic Ebola virus, the East African nation Rwanda, is screening all visitors from all countries which have had a recorded Ebola case, in bid to ensure the health and safety of it's citizens.

That is to say all travelers from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Republic of Guinea (Conakry), Spain and the United States of America are to undergo Ebola screening for the next 21 days, each day. Ridiculous as it may sound, especially considering the populations of Spain and US and their 'insignificant' recorded Ebola cases, it is true.
The U.S embassy in Rwanda posted the following notice on their website

''On October 19, the Rwandan Ministry of Health introduced new Ebola Virus Disease screening requirements. Visitors who have been in the United States or Spain during the last 22 days are now required to report their medical condition -- regardless of whether they are experiencing symptoms of Ebola -- by telephone by dialing 114 between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. for the duration of their visit to Rwanda (if less than 21 days), or for the first 21 days of their visit to Rwanda. Rwandan authorities continue to deny entry to visitors who traveled to Guinea, Liberia, Senegal, or Sierra Leone within the past 22 days."
