US urges citizens to not travel to DRC, S. Sudan, Uganda over Ebola risk

The U.S. State Department on Tuesday strongly urged Americans to avoid travel to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan and Uganda amid a mounting outbreak of Ebola believed to have killed more than 130 people.

The department gave the three Central African countries its highest travel advisory -- "Level 4: Do Not Travel" -- and also urged citizens to "reconsider travel" to neighboring Rwanda.
