| Ebola Disease Virus |
Most border crossings in Liberia have been closed and
communities hit by an Ebola outbreak face quarantine to try to halt the spread
of the virus.
Screening centres are also being set up at the few
major entry points that will remain open, such as the main airport.
Meanwhile, Nigeria largest's airline, Arik Air, has
suspended all flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone after a man with Ebola flew
to Nigeria last week.
The virus has killed at least 660 people in West
Africa since February.
The outbreak began in southern Guinea and spread to
Liberia and Sierra Leone. It is the world's deadliest so far.
