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.
