利雅得在卫生当局指出与从刚果民主共和国蔓延的疫情相关的埃博拉暴露风险后，暂停了飞往肯尼亚的航班和签证发放。
Riyadh halted flights and visa issuance for Kenya after health authorities cited Ebola exposure risk linked to the outbreak spreading from DR Congo.
沙特通讯社周五宣布，沙特阿拉伯已暂停所有飞往和来自肯尼亚的旅行，并暂停向肯尼亚国民签发签证，引用的是该国卫生当局的流行病学风险评估。
Saudi Arabia has suspended all travel to and from Kenya and halted visa issuance for Kenyan nationals, the Saudi Press Agency announced on Friday, citing an epidemiological risk assessment by the kingdom's health authorities.
该决定是在肯尼亚出现首例确诊埃博拉病例之后作出的，这些病例与邻国刚果民主共和国已造成超过5000人死亡的疫情有关，这是有记录以来最致命的一波疫情。肯尼亚卫生官员已将数十名与感染患者有过接触的人员隔离，以追踪病毒传播路径，其中一些人将在未来几天解除隔离。
The decision follows Kenya's first confirmed Ebola cases, linked to an outbreak that has already killed more than 5,000 people in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, the deadliest wave on record. Kenyan health officials have placed dozens of people who had contact with infected patients under quarantine as they trace the virus's path, with some due for release in the coming days.
这一暂停措施威胁到海湾国家与东非之间的旅行、贸易和劳工联系，正值敏感时刻，如果疫情继续从其原始中心蔓延，可能会促使其他政府考虑采取类似限制措施。
The suspension threatens travel, trade and labour ties between the Gulf state and East Africa at a sensitive moment, and could prompt other governments to weigh similar restrictions if the outbreak continues to spread beyond its original epicentre.
