NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Rwanda's
minister of health is reversing a decision she made to require visitors
who had been in the U.S. or Spain during the previous 22 days to report
their medical condition to Rwandan authorities daily.
Dr.
Agnes Binagwaho said on Twitter late Wednesday that the decision to
screen travelers from the U.S. and Spain was solely her decision and not
the government's. She apologized for any inconvenience.
A posting
on President Paul Kagame's Twitter account said the measures instituted
by Binagwaho weren't necessary and that his health minister sometimes
acts first and thinks later.
No
Ebola cases have been reported in Rwanda. The U.S. Embassy says that
Rwanda is not allowing visitors who have recently traveled to Guinea,
Liberia, Senegal, or Sierra Leone. T
