Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (R-MO), today made the following statement in response to the unfortunate news of an American doctor in New York being diagnosed with Ebola.
“In light of the new case of Ebola in New York, it is becoming clear that even more protective measures to mitigate the spread of this deadly disease here in the United States must be taken. In addition to the suspension of visas that I have called for, health care workers who have been in direct contact with Ebola patients in the affected West African countries should undergo mandatory monitoring in a controlled environment for 21 days upon returning to the United States. Further, safe non-commercial travel options must be considered in order to protect American lives and deliver aid resources to Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa.”
