2 days ago
An Air France flight heading to Detroit was diverted to Montreal after a passenger from the Democratic Republic of Congo boarded despite new Ebola-related travel restrictions.
U.S. officials say the passenger should not have been permitted to travel to the United States under current health screening rules tied to the Ebola outbreak.
Canadian health officials evaluated the passenger after the plane landed in Montreal and reported no symptoms of illness.
The passenger later returned to Paris as health authorities continue heightened screening measures linked to the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa.
