Could it reach Australia and the West and other countries?

 

 

West African nations create a cross-border Ebola isolation zone to stem the deadly outbreak 

 

WEST Africa’s Ebola-hit nations have agreed to impose a cross-border isolation zone at the epicentre of the world’s worst-ever outbreak, amid warnings that the deadly epidemic is spiralling out of control.

 

The announcement came at an emergency summit in the Guinean capital on Friday to discuss the outbreak, which has killed more than 700 people, with the World Health Organisation warning Ebola could cause “catastrophic” loss of life and severe economic disruption if it continued to spread.

“We have agreed to take important and extraordinary actions at the inter-country level to focus on cross-border regions that have more than 70 per cent of the epidemic,” said Hadja Saran Darab, the secretary-general of the Mano River Union bloc grouping the nations.

 

“These areas will be isolated by police and military. The people in these areas being isolated will be provided with material support,” she said at the meeting in Conakry.

Out of control! Killer Ebola virus may soon reach Britain, health chief warns

 

At a crisis meeting of political leaders from affected countries, Dr Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organisation, said the deadly disease is outrunning efforts to control it.

 

She said the meeting in Guinea’s capital Conakry “must be a turning point” in the fight against the virus.

 

She added: “This outbreak is moving faster than our efforts to control it.

 

“If the situation continues to deteriorate, the consequences can be catastrophic in terms of lost lives, severe socio-economic disruption and a high risk of spread to other countries.”

 

At least 729 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria have died since cases emerged in March.
