GUINEA has declared an Ebola outbreak that has killed 377 in the nation a “health emergency” and more flights from hard-hit west African countries were cancelled as the region awaited shipments of experimental vaccine.
Guinean President Alpha Conde announced a series of measures including strict controls at border points, travel restrictions and a ban on moving bodies “from one town to another until the end of the epidemic”.
In addition all suspected victims will automatically be hospitalised until they are cleared of infection, Conde said.
