Saudi Arabia has taken precautionary measures to curb the potential spread of the Ebola virus by suspending travel for its citizens to Kenya and halting the issuance of visas to people arriving from the country. The Saudi Press Agency reported that these restrictions were implemented following an assessment of the Ebola situation and include barring entry for travelers who had stayed in Kenya or another country with an active Ebola outbreak within 21 days before their arrival.
The move comes as Kenya continues to manage an Ebola outbreak that has resulted in nine confirmed infections and two deaths.
