UN chief Ban Ki-moon warned Monday against "unnecessarily" strict restrictions on health workers returning from treating Ebola patients, in an apparent reference to quarantines and visa bans by some Western nations. "There are some unnecessarily extra restrictions and discriminations against health workers. Without naming any country, Ban said that these "unnecessarily strong and strict restrictions" included "quarantine for health workers ... not based on science and medical evidence". "That is my honest and urgent opinion to the international community," he said, stressing however that people with Ebola symptoms "should be immediately treated and supported".
