Saudi Arabia has imposed a travel ban on citizens from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan as a precautionary step to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus. The decision also suspends visa issuance and entry into Saudi Arabia for travelers from these countries. According to a Gulf News report citing the Saudi Press Agency, the restriction applies to anyone who has stayed in any of the three nations within 21 days before entering Saudi Arabia, even if arriving through another country.
The Saudi Public Health Authority, known as Weqaya, stated that the move aims to protect public health and curb cross-border transmission of infectious diseases. The country has strengthened health screening, disease surveillance, and rapid response systems at entry points, particularly for travelers from neighboring countries of the affected regions.
Authorities confirmed that Saudi Arabia’s overall public health situation remains stable, with no suspected Ebola cases detected so far. Continuous monitoring of regional and international epidemic developments is underway, and the government affirmed readiness to implement all necessary health measures.
