West African nations should be prepared for Ebola - WHO expert
West African nations neighboring those hit by the Ebola epidemic including Mali, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Guinea Bissau should prepare for the possible arrival of travelers carrying the deadly virus, the World Health Organization said on Friday.
 
"We want other countries in West Africa to be ready - bordering countries, Ivory Coast, Mali, Guinea Bissau - to prepare themselves in case people affected with the disease may be also traveling," WHO medical officer Dr. Pierre Formenty told a briefing in Geneva.
 
He said the U.N. health agency is not considering recommendation of travel or trade restrictions on the three countries already affected by the epidemic - Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
