UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United Nations on Monday sharply criticized new restrictions imposed by three U.S. states on health workers returning from countries hit by Ebola, with the U.N. chief saying they created difficulties for those risking their lives in the battle against the disease.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's spokesman did not name specific countries, although he acknowledged to reporters that the statement covered new quarantine rules imposed by the states of New York, New Jersey and Illinois that caused controversy when an asymptomatic nurse was ordered into quarantine.
