Taiwan bans travelers from DR Congo, Uganda over Ebola concerns

Taiwan has implemented a policy where previously approved visa or e-visa holders from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda are now explicitly denied entry. Any outstanding applications from these two nations that are currently under review or pending processing will be cancelled automatically. Furthermore, this restriction extends to travellers of any nationality who have recently stayed in or visited the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Uganda. The measure, effective immediately, particularly impacts Rotary members, their accompanying persons, family members, and guests from the affected countries who had intended to attend the upcoming Taipei Convention.
