State Department adds Public Health Arrival Restrictions and enhanced Ebola screening

The State Department’s May 28 update to the Worldwide Caution adds Public Health Arrival Restrictions and Enhanced Ebola Disease Screening for travelers from the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan, with the Uganda Travel Advisory at Level 4. That is the part that matters here: an official travel alert now has public-health screening attached, and the advisory level for Uganda is as high as the State Department gets.
