美国公民在刚果旅行后需先在境外停留21天方可入境美国

华盛顿讯——一名美国官员向哥伦比亚广播公司透露,鉴于刚果(金)埃博拉病毒传播风险升级,曾前往刚果民主共和国的美国公民,必须先在这个中非国家境外停留至少21天,才能搭乘商业航班返回美国。

周一,特朗普政府依据美国卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪针对埃博拉疫情发布的最新指南,开始依据《美国法典第49篇》实施旅行限制措施。此前特朗普政府已就前往刚果(金)发出了数周的旅行警告。

路透社率先报道了针对美国公民的这项旅行限制。根据新规,身处刚果(金)或近期曾到访该国的美国公民,只有在境外停留至少21天后,才可搭乘商业航班返回美国。此前,曾在刚果(金)停留过的非美国公民已被限制入境美国。

该官员表示,美国卫生部门观察到埃博拉病毒在刚果(金)西部的社区传播范围正在扩大,这意味着疫情已不再局限于该国东部地区。世界卫生组织报告称,在这个深陷贫困的国家控制疫情期间,该国目前已有1963例确诊病例和719例确诊死亡病例。

这名美国官员称,政府已掌握约24名计划搭乘航班返回美国的美国公民的信息,国务院将协助他们完成21天的等待期后再回国。

该官员表示,许多在刚果的美国人都在非营利组织工作或是从事国际商务活动。美国疾病控制与预防中心还将为在刚果(金)的美国公民提供医疗评估服务。

上周,美国疾控中心通报,一名在刚果从事人道主义工作的美国公民埃博拉病毒检测呈阳性。

U.S. citizens traveling in Congo must spend 21 days elsewhere before entering U.S.

Washington— U.S. citizens who have traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo cannot board a commercial flight to return to the U.S. unless they have spent at least 21 days outside the Central African nation, over heightened concerns about the spread of Ebola there, a U.S. official told CBS News.

On Monday, the Trump administration began imposing Title 49-authority travel restrictions, based on updated guidance on the Ebola outbreak from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The restrictions follow weeks of warnings by the Trump administration against traveling to the DRC.

Reuters first reported the travel restrictions for U.S. citizens. Under the restrictions, U.S. citizens who are in or have recently been in the DRC will only be able to take a commercial flight to the U.S. if they have spent at least 21 days outside of the DRC. Non-U.S. citizens who had spent time in the DRC were already restricted from traveling to the U.S.

U.S. health authorities, the official said, are seeing greater community spread of Ebola into the western part of the DRC, an indication that the disease is no longer confined to the eastern side of the country. The World Health Organization has reported 1,963 confirmed cases in the country and 719 confirmed deaths as the impoverished country struggles to contain the outbreak.

The U.S. official said the administration is aware of about two dozen U.S. citizens who were set to board flights to the U.S., and the State Department will be working with them on their 21-day waiting period before their return home.

Many Americans in Congo are there working for nonprofit groups or are on international business, the U.S. official said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will also give medical assessments to Americans in the DRC, the U.S. official said.

Last week, the CDC said a U.S. citizen doing humanitarian work in Congo tested positive for the virus.
