AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoBorder Closure & Travel Controls: Uganda ordered an immediate closure of its border with DR Congo as a rare Bundibugyo Ebola surge nears 1,000 suspected cases, allowing only emergency response, cargo and security movement, with anyone permitted to cross placed under mandatory 21-day self-isolation. Regional Outbreak Pressure: WHO says the eastern DR Congo crisis is “outpacing” response, warning of a “catastrophic collision” of disease and conflict that is disrupting containment and contact tracing. Airport Screening & Traveler Rules: The US is expanding Ebola screening at major entry airports (Atlanta, Washington Dulles, Houston Bush) and is seeking volunteers for CDC airport checks; Canada is suspending immigration processing for 90 days for residents of Congo, Uganda and South Sudan and requiring a 21-day quarantine for eligible arrivals. World Cup Fallout: DR Congo has asked FIFA for ticket refunds after US entry restrictions blocked many fans, while Houston officials stressed the risk to locals remains low as screenings ramp up. Other Travel Bans: Bahamas announced a 30-day ban for travellers from Ebola-affected countries, and Thailand imposed mandatory 21-day quarantine for arrivals from Congo and Uganda.
