00:05say they'll align public health measures for people travelling to the tournament from the DR Congo
00:11and other African nations affected by the Ebola outbreak.
00:16Washington and Ottawa have already imposed entry restrictions on travellers
00:22who have visited the Congo, Uganda or South Sudan in recent weeks.
00:26Mexico has tightened Ebola screening measures at airports
00:30and asked people coming from the DRC to quarantine.
00:34The head of the Africa Centers for Disease Control has called the restrictions unacceptable.
00:41Speaking to Health Policy Watch, Jean Cassella warned that the measures will harm the economies of the targeted nations.

00:55He's vowed to name them if they don't follow through on their promises.
