The government
of Equatorial Guinea has
temporarily suspended the issuance of visas from neighboring countries and
cancelled regionals flights by its national air carrier, Ceiba International,
as measures to protect the country against the spread of the Ebola virus.
This is one of a
number of preventive measures taken by the country after it formed a national
commission to lead anti-Ebola efforts.
The government
is also preparing to purchase additional ambulatory hospitals (tents), train
health personnel assigned to these health units and purchase drugs for
palliative treatment, among other initiatives.
