Ebola Travel Bans Enacted by Nearly 30 Countries, but Not US

Nick Sanchez / Newsmax

Nearly every African nation has instituted travel bans on West African countries with significant Ebola outbreaks.
 

Though the Obama administration has insisted travel bans are not necessary, even countries outside of Africa are beginning to start such travel bans, with Colombia and the Caribbean island of St. Lucia on Wednesday adding their names to a growing list of nearly 30 countries that block travelers from virus-stricken Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.
 

African nations including Kenya, Zambia, and South Africa make up the bulk of the countries that have instituted some kind of ban, and now that countries on the other side of the Atlantic have begun imposing restrictions, calls for the U.S. to follow suit have intensified.

Here is the complete list of nations with bans or significant travel restrictions:
