US issues urgent travel warning as deadly Ebola outbreak spreads overseas

U.S. officials are warning Americans not to visit a Central African nation, home to the world's second-largest rainforest, amid a deadly Ebola outbreak.

The U.S. State Department raised its travel advisory for the Democratic Republic of the Congo from Level 3 to Level 4 on Sunday.

The advisory emphasizes Congo's Ituri Province, which is located in the northeast region, though Ebola cases have also been reported in Goma and the capital city of Kinshasa.
