Ebola still persisting.

The mother was one of three new Ebola cases diagnosed in Sierra Leone over the past week, dashing hopes that the country had vanquished the virus.


"When you think of all the contacts [doctors and nurses] will have made when they go home, it's scary," a health official told Reuters.
Meanwhile Guinea will put four villages under a 21-day quarantine as part of a robust strategy to stamp out a lingering Ebola epidemic after new cases of the disease were discovered there.

Ebola: Sierra Leone, Guinea quarantine people, villages again
 
What's happening with the Ebola form at immigration? We were given forms this morning on VA2 but went through the electronic gates and no one collected our forms or was remotely interested. I'm guessing as we'd clicked that we hadn't been to Africa or South America we were automatically cleared?

Had customs in SYD on Tuesday ask for the ticket from the gate rather then the form.

The egates still have the question on travel and if you use the egate you don't need to fill that form in.

No you just take the form and bin it once past Customs.No need to fill it in.
 
Mine has always worked. Much to MrP's annoyance as his is random. No Ebola form on the Sat AirNZ flight.

Just received this from HAL for a cruise we are on in mid Jan

IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION:
We wish to advise you that following consultation with international health
authorities, we have adopted pre-boarding screening for Ebola Virus Disease.
Guests and crew who have visited or traveled through countries with recent
outbreaks of Ebola (including Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea), or had
physical contact with or helped care for a person suspected of having Ebola
within 21 days of a cruise departure date will be denied boarding. We are also
monitoring bookings for any guests coming from these countries. Holland America
Line has in place robust medical protocols that are consistent with public
health guidance. We are monitoring the situation closely, along with our
colleagues in the rest of the travel industry. Guests seeking more information
on Ebola can visit the World Health Organization's website at WHO | World Health Organization or
the CDC website at Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever | CDC.

Form not handed out for HKG-SYD flight a few days ago.

From memory form was handed out for same flight in September but not collected at SYD airport.
 
Government abandoned its requirement for the form for international arrivals about 10th November.
