Press Release From The Ministry Of Health, May 30, 2026
 |
| Dr. J Bisasor - McKenzie, Chief Medical Officer. |
The Ministry of Health & Wellness has advised that there are no Ebola cases in Jamaica. As previously announced and in keeping with our port of entry surveillance protocol, the health team at Jamaica’s ports of entry has ramped up surveillance of Jamaicans and travellers to Jamaica, who have travelled to or transited through Ebola-affected countries in the last 21 days. As a reminder, persons travelling from affected countries will be quarantined upon arrival.
Since the release of the Ministry’s public service announcement on Monday, May 25, the Ministry can confirm that eight (8) passengers from several flights into the country had a travel history associated with the affected countries. These individuals have received counselling from the airport health desk, placed under mandatory self-quarantine and are being monitored by the respective health departments. Importantly, all eight passengers have not manifested any symptoms associated with Ebola, therefore transmission is not likely, and therefore there is no risk as it relates to the other passengers on these flights.
Again, Jamaicans are urged to review their travel plans and avoid traveling to or transiting through affected countries and the Ministry further advises the public to ascertain health information.
The Ministry of Health & Wellness is committed to full transparency and will continue to provide timely, accurate updates through its official channels. We urge members of the public, including social media users, bloggers, and vloggers, to verify information before sharing it and to desist from circulating misinformation concerning the Ebola virus, which can cause unnecessary public anxiety. The public is encouraged to rely only on official and authorized sources for health information.
