Cayman Islands to purchase $800k Ebola unit and implements travel ban
- All travelers will now fill out health questionnaires.
- A travel ban is also now in place, restricting those who have traveled to Ebola-struck countries like Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, from crossing our borders.
- If a person has visited any of those countries within the last four weeks or present symptoms, it will trigger government’s Ebola protocols.
- A passenger who does not have any fever or other symptoms, and is a visitor, will be denied entry and quarantined until departure. If a resident, the passenger will have an option to be quarantined in a designated place at the Cayman Islands Hospital, or in their own home supervised by security guards, if all household members were also passengers, or if living alone. If quarantined in the hospital, the individual will also be watched by a security guard, and arrangements made for daily needs to be met in a manner similar to any inpatient of the hospital
