Saudi Arabia restricts travel from Kenya over Ebola concerns

Saudi Arabia has banned travellers from Kenya from entering the country, suspended travel by its citizens to Kenya, and halted all categories of visas for Kenyan travellers as part of precautionary measures to contain Ebola. The restrictions also apply to some transit travellers who have recently stayed in Kenya or another country reporting an Ebola outbreak, and similar limits remain in place for travellers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and South Sudan.
