Congolese authorities are restricting people from traveling outside the country, after France confirmed the first Ebola case in Europe from the ongoing outbreak in central Africa.

Any person who has been in a province affected by the Ebola outbreak will only be allowed to travel abroad after spending three weeks outside the outbreak area, Congo’s Ministry of Health said in a public health order dated June 24.
