In my post U.S citizens to be screened for Ebola in Rwanda, I stated that it's quite ridiculous to screen U.S and Spanish citizens for Ebola considering their 'insignificant' Ebola cases recorded - well, now, the government of Rwanda is exempting citizens from the above named countries from the screening.

Rwanda health ministry has reversed the mandated screening for U.S and Spanish visitors and rendered an apology.
'' The ministry of health is removing special screening of travelers from U.S and Spain'' said the Rwanda's minister of health, Agnes Binagwaho. ''Apologies for any inconveniences caused by my decision.''
Ebola has killed thousands since the outbreak in March, mostly in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. Mali recorded its first Ebola case on Thursday October 23, 2014, sparking fears the hemorrhagic virus is spreading like a harmattan bush fire.
