Ebola Crisis: Mali Confirms First Infection Case by Nobody: 11:03pm On Oct 23, 2014
Breaking News;

The Malian government has confirmed the first case of Ebola in the country.

It said a two-year-old girl had tested positive for the haemorrhagic virus.

Reports say she recently returned from the neighbouring Guinea.

More than 4,800 people have died of Ebola - mainly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone - since March.

Meanwhile, an international team of scientists has been set up to determine the effectiveness of using the blood of Ebola survivors as a treatment.

Mali should do what we have done...trace all contacts, isolate the patient, treat aggressively, screen everyone coming in and going out.

I guess this would make African countries rethink their border security.

Mali....don't panic.
