As the epidemic causes a scare throughout the world, Yale's Ebola-avoiding measures have been made public: the Ivy League university has put limits to university-sponsored trips to those countries where the outbreak has been worse, like Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

Earlier this month, there was a Yale Ebola scare earlier this week, when a graduate student from the university was thought to have the disease, according to The New York Times. The student had just returned from a research trip to Liberia, a West African country that is one of the main focuses of the current outbreak.

The student was admitted to a hospital for having symptoms not unlike those of the often-lethal virus - however, tests showed that the student didn't have the disease and was improving since then.

However, it would see that the episode affected school officials enough to take action against Yale's Ebola. According to local newspaper New Haven Register, the university has now issued restrictions for trips to Liberia, Guinea or Sierra Leone - and there's even a total ban on undergraduate financing or course credit trips to these nations. These new restrictions were issued last Tuesday and will be put into effect on Monday.

"Recognizing Yale's mission to create new and useful knowledge, coupled with the responsibility to protect our community from the Ebola threat, the university is restricting student, faculty, and staff travel to these three West African countries," the policy said. "Students, faculty, and staff should not travel to Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, except for the most urgent purposes, which may include contributing to efforts to contain and eliminate the Ebola outbreak."

The new Yale Ebola policies come at a time of global crisis, as these West Africa nations have Level 3 travel warnings on them from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Level 3 is the highest level of warning.
