Meanwhile, Kenya Airways has suspended flight operations to Liberia and Sierra Leone due to the outbreak of the Ebola Virus in the West-African Countries. Kenya Airways said, The suspension is temporary, and the airline will continue operating flights to Nigeria and Ghana'.

The Kenyan government also stated restrictions, saying it is temporarily suspending entry into Kenya of passengers who have passed through Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.

Health professionals and Kenyan citizens returning home from those countries will be the exceptions, but will have to undergo extensive screening and close monitoring, said James Macharia, Cabinet secretary of the Kenya Ministry of Health.

Most countries are taking extreme measures to ensure their countries are not infected by the deadly virus plunging into the West-African.

Medical Experts have said the Ebola Virus will take longer than expected before it disappears again. According to Joanne Liu, who spoke on behalf of the Doctors Without Borders, she said thl controlling the outbreak in Liberia – which has recorded more than 300 deaths – was vital to containing the epidemic.
“If we don’t stabilise Liberia, we will never stabilise the region. In terms of timeline, we’re not talking in terms of weeks, we’re talking in terms of months.
We need a commitment for months, at least I would say six months, and I’m being, I would say, very optimistic,” she said
