[US Extends Ebola Travel Ban to Green Card Holders] CCTV reporters learned on May 22 local time that, due to concerns about the Ebola outbreak, the United States announced a temporary ban on entry for lawful permanent residents who have visited the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan within the past 21 days. Previously, US citizens, nationals, and green card holders were exempt from the 30-day Ebola travel ban, but the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated on May 22 that extending the ban to green card holders was a necessary measure to prevent the virus from entering the United States.
