Hagan Statement on Response to the Ebola Crisis
Friday, October 17, 2014
Greensboro, NC - U.S. Senator Kay Hagan issued the following statement about the ongoing Ebola crisis:
"I have said for weeks that travel restrictions should be one part of a broad strategy to prevent Ebola from spreading in the U.S. and fighting it in Africa. I am calling on the Administration to temporarily ban the travel of non-U.S. citizens from the affected countries in West Africa. Although stopping the spread of this virus overseas will require a large, coordinated effort with the international community, a temporary travel ban is a prudent step the President can take to protect the American people, and I believe he should do so immediately."
