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.
