Cross border Ebola infections targeted in West Africa
05.01.2015 10:57 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
The Liberian government is being helped by the United Nations to build new border posts to cut cross-frontier Ebola infections from Sierra Leone, UN Radio says referring to the UN Development Programme, UNDP, report.
As to the report, infections in Liberia’s eastern region have spiked recently as cross-border communities spread the disease across the frontier.
Reportedly, forty-nine new cases have been recorded in December 2014 in the border county of Grand Cape Mount.
The UNDP-supported facilities will enable Liberia to prevent people from crossing from Sierra Leone without being monitored.
It is to be admitted, Sierra Leone has over 7000 thousand confirmed Ebola cases. Liberia has just over 3000.
More than 7900 people have died from the deadly virus mainly in West Africa.
