Hanna Calls For Travel Ban To Combat Spreading Of Ebola

Congressman Richard Hanna is calling for a travel ban in response to the Ebola outbreak.

Hanna released the following statement on the outbreak:

“It is imperative that we take all necessary and appropriate measures to prevent this virus from spreading any further. We should not delay a temporary travel ban from affected West African countries. As we watch more become diagnosed in countries throughout the world, we must take swift precautions to ensure the health and safety of Americans. Ultimately this disease needs to be stopped in West Africa and this crisis can be halted but not without firm, decisive action and control of our borders and other borders throughout the world.”

 

It was recently discovered that a second Texas resident diagnosed with the disease had traveled from Cleveland to Dallas with symptoms of Ebola.
