Guinea: Border Closed Over Ebola Fears

Ebola is a deadly virus that has killed approximately 100,000  and above people world wide especially in Africa.  Recently Guinea closed its border with Sierra Leone on Monday as part of new efforts to eradicate the pandemic ( Ebola Virus) , an official said.

The long-running Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed more than 10,300 people, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Liberia has no Ebola patients at this point, and Sierra Leone has recently seen a fairly steady decline in cases. But the disease remains entrenched in Guinea.

Guinea’s president, Alpha Condé, said over the weekend that emergency measures would be “reinforced” for 45 days in five districts, including some on the Sierra Leone border.
