Ghana bans flights from Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia over Ebola concerns

Ghana has officially banned flights from 4 West African countries; Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Nigeria, citing concerns about the rapid spread of the Ebola virus, which has claimed several 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. Continue..

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.

So how does that stop the virus from entering their country? what if a citizen from another country which they have not banned travel to sierra Leone and contracts the virus and then travel to Ghana? So what happens in that case?

Negligence on the part of the FG is what is affecting us in this country. The FG just like playing politics with people's life. What Ghana did was what the FG ought to have done b4 dat man came in from Liberia.

You guys are not making sense here. What was the Nigerian government supposed to do before that liberian man with the virus came into Nigeria? Ban flights from the affected countries? Ever since that discovery in lagos, the government has done its best by putting down safety measures both at the airport and the borders. The government should be commended for their effort so far. If I may ask what safety measures did the Ghanian government put in place before now?

Ebola virus was first recorded in 1976 after an outbreak in Zaire now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where 88 per cent of the 318 people that were infected died. Another outbreak in 1995 also claimed the lives of 81% of the 315 infected people. AND another outbreak in 2014. NOW MY FINDINGS, WHY IS THIS DEADLY SICKNESS reoccuring EVERY 19years? And kills within 19days

Mumu people! As if that will solve the problem.If an Ebola victim travels to like Cairo,and then makes Ghana his final destination ? What if an Enola victim boards a bus from directly to Accra?

Better option would have been to mount medical experts on all their airports to screen all passengers for Ebola before making it to the immigration section.This will at least curtail it to 'an extent'
