Vern Buchanan: Restrict Travel to 'Ebola-Ravaged' Nations in Africa

Concerned about the rise of Ebola, U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., called for restricting travel with Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea on Monday.

Pointing to warnings issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Buchanan said more needs to be done.

It makes sense for the government to conduct tighter screening of those trying to enter our country from Ebola-ravaged nations, Buchanan said.

We can keep Americans safe and show compassion by continuing to send in medical supplies to help African nations battling the deadly virus, Buchanan added. I hope the FAA and other government agencies are reviewing all available options to keep the outbreak from spreading in the United States.
