Ivory Coast Bans All Flights From Ebola Affected Countries by oshokay(m): 2:16pm On Aug 11, 2014
The Ivory Coast announced Monday that it has banned all flights from countries hit by Ebola as part of steps to prevent the deadly virus from reaching the west African nation.The government said in a statement that it has forbidden all “carriers from transporting passengers” from these countries.It has also decided “on the suspension until further notice” flights by its national airline, Air Cote d’Ivoire, to and from these locations.The government did not name the countries but nearly 1,000 people have died from Ebola in Liberia, Sierre Leone, Guinea andNigeria, which are all in West Africa.The government said it has also decided to increase preventive measures at Abidjan airport where “all passengers on arrival will have to have their temperatures taken with an infrared thermometer.”Ebola causes flu-like symptoms including fever. In the worst cases, it causes unstoppable bleeding.It spreads among humans via bodily fluids including sweat, so can be spread by simply touching an infected person. With no vaccine, patients believed to have caught the virus have to be isolated to stop further contagion.No case of Ebola has surfaced in the Ivory Coast which began implementing measures to prevent the spread of the disease in March.British Airways said August 5 that it has suspended flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone following concerns about the spread of Ebola.Dubai’s Emirates Airline said earlier this month it was suspending flights to Guinea.Pan-African airline Aruj and ASKY suspended all flights to and from the capitals of Liberia and Sierra Leone following the death of a Liberian passenger at the end of July in the Nigerian city of Lagos.Chad on Saturday suspended all flights fromNigeria.Officials said Sunday thatNigeriahad stopped the Gambian national carrier, Gambia Bird Airlines, from flying into the country, alleging “unsatisfactory” measures by the airline to contain the spread of Ebola.

Lagos State government should start a campaign that lagosians should start investing in gloves and masks.
it is just too late, for each person who gets ebola, it is death sentence.

lets start the fight early, lets go after the escapees like they are criminals
maybe we shutdown schools for now to slow down the process.
For a student who gets it, do the maths and see that every other student gets it too.
lets have their pictures circulate the social medias because a handshake from these guys alone is death sentence

even if you later wash your hands, you may have touched your mobile phone afterwards, then after washing your hands, you pick up your mobile phone again. This is why washing of hands may be ineffective.

our borders should have been shut before that sawyer guy came in.
sawyer was just too selfish thinking TB joshua would help him.
for those who do not know, Saywer's intention was to visit TB joshua.
