Canada restricts visas amid Ebola scare


As reported in 'The Japan News' : The Associated Press, TORONTO (AP) — Canada has joined Australia in suspending entry visas for people from Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa in an attempt to keep the deadly disease away. Canada’s Conservative government said Friday it is suspending visa applications for residents and nationals of countries with “widespread and persistent-intense transmission” of Ebola virus disease. Canada has not yet had a case of Ebola. Canadians, including healthcare workers, in West Africa will be permitted to travel back to Canada, the government said.
