Rwanda now screening Americans and Spaniards for Ebola.

Rwanda is not taking any chances with the deadly Ebola virus. The country’s health ministry has ordered that people from countries where Ebola has been reported should be thoroughly screened and tested before entering Rwanda. This includes USA and Spain.

Here is an extract from a form that visitors from USA, Spain and other Ebola infected countries are supposed to sign when entering Rwanda through the airport or other border points:
