Ghana has, reportedly, officially banned
flights from four West African countries,
citing concerns about the rapid spread of the
Ebola virus, which has claimed over 600 lives.
Charles Asare, Managing Director of the
Ghana Airport Company, said the measure
was part of a set of emergency management
plans officials are rolling out to combat the
spread of the virus. The affected countries
include Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and
Nigeria.
The government there has also implemented
strict restrictions on the movement and
management of Liberian refugees in camps in
the country. Health Minister, Kwaku
Agyeman-Mensah, urged Ghanaians to bear
with the government as they work to contain
the virus.
"Preparedness is not an event but a process,"
he said.
