A Nigerian woman was turned away at the Piarco International Airport under new rules as the country responds to the current Ebola threat, Malaysia News Agency reports.
The new rules were implemented last week and she was the first person denied entry.
Authorities say the woman landed at Piarco on Friday, October 17, 2014 . Upon arrival, she was interviewed by a health official at the airport after she disembarked from a Copa Airlines flight which had originated from Panama and stopped in Venezuela.
The country ban flights from Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic of Congo and Nigeria.
Being a Nigerian national whose journey began in Nigeria, she was grouped among those who will not be allowed into Trinidad and Tobago following the ban which went into effect last week.
