Common sense dictates that travel out of Ebola-stricken countries into the U.S. should be restricted until the Ebola crisis in Africa is over. Today, local governments in the U.S. can still use quarantine to restrict patients with certain diseases. Also, federal law through the Department of Homeland Security and the CDC prevents and restricts air travel in patients with active communicable diseases that pose serious public health threats.
