REPORT: Minister of Health Abou Faour announces further measures to prevent Ebola
Minister of Health Wael Abou Faour said on Wednesday that flights coming from countries where there is an Ebola outbreak will land in one terminal at the Beirut International Airport.

He also announced further measures to prevent the virus from reaching Lebanon.

Following talks with the administration of the Beirut International Airport along with Public Works and Transport Minister Ghazi Zoaiter, Abou Faour said a specialized room has been established at the airport apron to isolate any suspected Ebola cases.

Abou Faour also noted that Lebanon suffers from a shortage in protective gear, adding that the Lebanese authorities are contacting World Health Organization officials to get the needed supplies.

In turn, Zoaiter vowed to take all measures to facilitate the health minister's plan to stop Ebola from reaching Lebanon.

On Monday, Abou Faour said that Lebanon is more vulnerable than some other Arab countries because of the large Lebanese diaspora in Africa.

The global head of the Red Cross, Elhadj As Sy, said on Wednesday that the Ebola epidemic will take at least four months to contain even if all necessary steps are taken.

The deadliest-ever outbreak of the hemorrhagic fever has claimed more than 4,500 lives in West Africa, experts warn that the rate of infections could reach 10,000 a week by December.

There is no vaccine or cure for Ebola, which has also spread in several isolated cases among health workers in Spain and the United States.
