Ghana has 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.
