As for those are coming from Central America? I believe you're supposed to have a passport when crossing international borders, so there's that option. If you made it known that you're not going to get in after having been in a heavily infected country in the recent past and actually enforced it you would not have too many people making the trip only to be turned around.


And at the very least we could put a stop to granting visas to non-citizens from west African countries. Why has this not been done?
I know you didn't.

Just adding a perspective to the public policy dilemma. If we make it "illegal" then some will follow the path of undocumented aliens and hide, which makes it much more difficult to find and quarantine suspected cases.
