The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised citizens and residents to avoid travelling to Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and South Sudan unless absolutely necessary, citing Ebola virus disease (EVD) developments in those countries.
The ministry called on UAE nationals already present in any of the three countries to take maximum precautions and comply with health and safety guidance issued by local authorities there. It also urged them to register with the “Tawajudi” location-tracking service and to contact the ministry in emergencies via its dedicated overseas helpline: +97180024.
