Ebola: Travelers from Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have been banned by Australian government

Australian government has announced Tuesday that travelers from Ebola hit countries (Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia) will not be allowed in its country following the swift spread of Ebola outbreak, according to Immigration Minister Scott Morrison.

Morrison said Tuesday the temporary ban also applies to anyone who had a temporary visa approved, but who had not yet gone to Australia.  

Travelers with permanent visas must undergo a 21-day quarantine in Africa before flying back to Australia.

Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott has refused to send medical teams to West Africa to assist in helping where Ebola has hit the hardest. The country has donated 18 million Australia dollars (about $16 million) to fight the disease, however.

Meanwhile, an 18-year-old who showed symptom of fever after arriving from West Africa was admitted to the hospital. She was tested, however, and did not have Ebola.
