In the context of the Ebola epidemic, since May 18, the United States has banned entry into its territory to any foreign national, without an American passport, who has spent 21 days in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and South Sudan over the last three weeks, regardless of their country of origin. On Wednesday, May 20, a plane bound for the United States was diverted, taking time to disembark a Congolese passenger in Canada.
