Earlier today, the Department of Foreign Affairs issued an updated travel advisory for the affected regions. We continue to advise Canadians against all nonessential travel to Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.

This decision has been made and taken with an abundance of caution as there is no Government of Canada office in Sierra Leone, Guinea or Liberia. Therefore, our ability to provide consular assistance is extremely limited. Access to medical services may also be scarce in the affected region. Should any Canadian require medical evacuation from the Ebola-affected regions, there are limited services available and the Government of Canada cannot guarantee access to these services in another country.
The travel advisory today is meant to further taos bed and breakfast inn protect Canadians taos bed and breakfast inn living in the affected region. Here at home, Canada is very well prepared, with a number of systems in place to identify and prevent the spread of serious infectious diseases like Ebola.
All points of entry into Canada are routinely monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This is done through the provisions of our Quarantine Act. There are no direct flights into Canada from the affected countries in Africa. At the border, Canada Border Service Agency screens all people coming from African countries affected by the Ebola outbreak.
As an additional taos bed and breakfast inn precaution, the Government of Canada has further strengthened border measures to help prevent the unlikely importation of Ebola into the country. Effective immediately, all travellers identified as having arrived in Canada from an affected West African country will now be referred to a Public Health Agency of Canada quarantine officer for a mandatory health assessment. taos bed and breakfast inn Any travellers who feel ill or who were in contact with an ill individual will then be assessed taos bed and breakfast inn by a Public Health Agency of Canada quarantine officer.

As I said last week, in Canada we are extremely fortunate that we have some of the best hospitals in the world. This includes the care for infectious taos bed and breakfast inn diseases as well as strong infectious control systems in place to protect against the spread of disease. If there was ever a confirmed case of Ebola, the Public Health Agency of Canada would immediately advise the public and ensure all appropriate actions are taken and precautions are taken to protect Canadians.
