Mauritius has imposed a temporary entry ban on foreign nationals who have travelled to, transited through, or stayed in Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan over the past 21 days following the latest outbreak of the Ebola virus.
Mauritian citizens and foreign residents holding valid work, residence, occupation, business, or student permits will still be allowed to enter the country, but will be subject to a mandatory 21-day quarantine if they have visited any of the three countries within the previous three weeks.
Mauritian authorities will also require screening and risk assessment at points of entry for travellers arriving from affected countries. Any traveller presenting symptoms of the disease will be immediately isolated and clinically assessed.
The Mauritian government has also called for the 18th US-Africa Business Summit, initially scheduled for July in Mauritius, to be postponed.
