Opposition whip Marvin Gonzales is calling on the Government to outline its plan to protect citizens from a possible outbreak of the Ebola virus, as several countries have introduced screening measures for travellers.
Gonzales’ call comes as countries including Antigua and Barbuda have implemented Ebola screening for arriving passengers, while Brazil recently tested and cleared two people who were being monitored for the virus.
Reports of Ebola, a highly infectious and potentially lethal viral disease, emerged from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in April. Approximately 1,000 people have died so far, and the World Health Organisation has declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.
