South Africa launches ETA system for travelers from China, India, Indonesia, Mexico_我的网站

一 |     (ECNS) -- South Africa recently launched its Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system on Wednesday, allowing travelers from China, India, Indonesia and Mexico to apply online for entry authorization.    President Cyril Ramaphosa attended the launch ceremony at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, where he announced that the system was officially operational.    Under the new system, eligible travelers can apply online from anywhere in the world without having to visit a South African embassy, consulate or visa center. Approved applicants are expected to receive their electronic authorization within 24 hours.    The system began a pilot program for travelers from the four countries in September 2025. A South African official said around 216,000 applications have been processed so far, with 6,126 suspected fraudulent applications rejected.    The ETA system is currently available at international airports in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. The South African government plans to extend the system to land and sea ports and gradually expand it to more countries and visa categories.                                。    Kampala, Oct 22 (UNI) Three people among the 60 under quarantine at a Ugandan national referral hospital in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, have tested positive for Ebola virus disease, a top official said here on Saturday.



Minister of Health Ruth Aceng in a tweet said the three who were at an isolation facility at Mulago National Referral Hospital tested positive on Friday.



She said they were contacts to a confirmed case that had earlier passed on at the hospital.



The minister said the three will be transferred to Entebbe Isolation Unit, 40 km south of Kampala, since the Mulago unit still has contacts under quarantine.



"Let's remain vigilant and report anybody with symptoms similar to Ebola. Together we can end this epidemic," Aceng said.



The government has already put Kampala under a high response alert in case cases start increasing.



The ministry on Thursday gave envoys accredited to the country a guided tour of the Ebola treatment units, in a show of preparedness that the country is ready to combat and win the battle against the disease.



The Ministry of Health figures on Thursday showed that the country has so far registered 65 positive cases and 27 deaths since the outbreak was reported on September 20.
