U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns (R- Neb) today announced his support for travel restrictions to help prevent the spread of Ebola.

"The Ebola virus continues to prove just how dangerous and deadly it can be, warranting additional measures to protect Nebraskans and all Americans from its spread. I support temporary travel restrictions for those who are traveling from countries that have been the most impacted by Ebola, with an exception for those carrying out humanitarian efforts to combat the virus. We must vigorously combat the lethal virus here at home and act with compassion to offer continued medical supplies and humanitarian aid to Ebola-stricken countries abroad."
