BREAKING: Saudi Arabia Bans Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia Muslims From performing Hajj
The spokesman of the Ministry of Health Dr. Khalid Marghalani, was quoted by Alarabiya as saying that individuals from Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia, where the Ebola virus is most prevalent, are not allowed to obtain visas to perform the Hajj or Umrah.

“We have communicated the instructions to the officials of all ports of entry. We have trained our personnel on how to identify and deal with Ebola cases and control virus infection, should it happen,” the spokesman said.

You only have to do it once at a minimum, not an annual requirement- not sure all those prepurchased airline tickets are going to be refunded though and some of these people are poor as dirt so it may effectively be a lifetime ban.

They should, but who will actually be able to tell where they came from?

I thought many of them walked in. Many miles?

I'd bet the plans are already being made to get fake passports or other IDs and still go. This could be the greatest of all unintended consequences:

Ebola may not only be coming to Saudi Arabia because of this but to many other places too as people try to sneak in to Hajj.

Also, if I remember correctly, it's based on your ability to do so. If someone is unable to do the Hajj, either because of health or monetary reasons, it should be ok. So they say. I took a World Religions class in college for a general credit. Soooo, not sure how accurate that info is!

Friend of mine flew as the maintenance guy for a budget charter carrier and they flew LOTS of pilgrims in and out of SA for the Hajj.

Many of these people were so poor and from the boonies (never been to a city in their life before going to take the flight) that they were trying to bring chickens and goats on the plane with them so they could slaughter them to eat while at the Hajj.

Fasten a seat belt? forget it! Once the crew got them buckled many couldn't figure out how to unbuckle them.

Know how to use a toilet? many did not even know that ... so they just pissed in their seats, and sometimes crapped in them too.

These poor people sold virtually everything they had to get the money together for their ONE TRIP of their entire life out of their poor village, to go on their pilgrimage to SA and the Hajj.

SA reportedly does an EXCELLENT JOB accommodating the vast numbers who come, providing tent city housing, food, sanitation, etc.. SA is well aware of the risks of health epidemics starting with the millions crammed into the area and has put a lot of time, money, effort, and intelligent thought into how to control the vast crowds that come ANNUALLY (and could riot badly with the riots getting out of control also).

If SA even SNIFFS that there is a health risk from anyone ... they will be kept away. Health wise it will probably be safer going to the Hajj than going to a NFL football game in the US or a soccer match in Europe since we don't police our front gates for health issues in people before we let them into town to attend those functions.

Re: BREAKING: Saudi Arabia Bans Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia Muslims From performing Hajj
I noted that at the bottom of this thread there were TWO references to past health scares for people attending the Hajj, one in 2009 and one in 2012 ... so this is nothing new to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has dealt with the potential of a mass epidemic starting at the Hajj before so they have thought this process out over the years and probably have better planning and better contingencies in place than ANYPLACE in Europe or the United States.
