Ebola restrictions remain in place

MoH chief public relations officer, Doreen Motshegwa told Mmegi yesterday that the ministry retains entry restrictions that were imposed last August. She said while the situation has stabilised, it does not mean that the country is off the danger zone.  She stated that Botswana has not had Ebola case.

Last year, August 12, the Government of Botswana announced a travel ban for all non-Botswana citizens traveling from Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria, as a measure to contain the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak.  Later, on August 25, the Government of Botswana announced the extension of these travel restrictions to Democratic Republic of Congo.
