Dear Student, Over the past several months there has been a lot of discussion in the media regarding the Ebola virus, which afflicts Western and Central African countries. While public health officials consider Ebola to pose little risk to Greece, individuals traveling to the countries where Ebola cases are occurring may be at risk for exposure. KEELPNO, MINISTRY OF HEALTH has issued a warning against traveling to countries where Ebola is active. Please refer to the instructions for traveling at the CDC website (cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/), the KELPNO website (keelpno.gr), or call Health Information for Travel (Travel medicine): +30.210.5212.193, 194, 195.
