South
Africa’s cabinet on Thursday issued a travel ban for non-citizens
arriving from Ebola-hit West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone
and Guinea.
South Africa’s Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi
said South Africans coming from Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone or
Nigeria would be questioned and medically examined, if necessary.
South
Africa’s health ministry said its country’s citizens would be asked to
postpone trips to those countries indefinitely and only allowed to
travel if it is absolutely essential.
However, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has urged airlines and countries to avoid isolating the three West African nations.
The
UN health agency said “Ebola is not contagious until symptoms appear
and even then it requires bodily fluid to spread by contact.’’
It
added that contracting the disease during air travel was extremely
unlikely and blanket bans and flight restrictions threatened fragile
economies.
According to WHO, the death toll from Ebola virus has reached 1,350 people as at Aug. 18.
Five deaths have been reported in Nigeria out of 12 confirmed cases since July 20.
