The Canadian government has extended its travel advisory for ebola-affected countries for another 30 days.
Temporary border measures are now in place until 28SEPT, the Public Health Agency of Canada announced Friday, in response to an outbreak of the of the disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Travellers who have listed Uganda, South Sudan, or the Democratic Republic of Congo as their last country of residence on an immigration application won't be able to travel to Canada, the agency said, even if they have a previously approved visa or other documents.
A 21-day quarantine will be required for anyone returning from one of those countries, and anyone showing symptoms of ebola will be isolated at a medical facility.
The government said it's working closely with health agencies in the United States and Mexico in an effort to keep ebola from spreading into North America.
