Port of Spain, October 20 (RHC-NNN-) --A Nigerian woman was turned away at Trinidad's Piarco International Airport under new rules as the country responds to the current Ebola threat. She became the first person to be denied entry under the rules implemented last week in Trinidad and Tobago.

According to authorities, the woman landed at Piarco on Friday afternoon. 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.

Being a Nigerian national whose travels 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.

The other countries from which travel to Trinidad and Tobago has been restricted are Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Democratic Republic of Congo.
