Kenya joins other countries in barring travelers from Ebola infected countries...

Kenya is closing its borders to travelers from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the three countries worst hit by the Ebola outbreak, the government has announced.

Kenya Airways also announced that it would suspend its flights to Freetown and Monrovia when the government travel ban on passengers comes into effect on Wednesday.

Several European carriers have already suspended services to the Sierra Leonean and Liberian capitals, where states of emergency have been declared to try to slow the spread of the disease.



Kenyan Health Minister James Macharia said the measure was also aimed at travellers who have passed through the affected countries.

“In the interest of public health the government has decided to temporarily suspend entry into Kenya of passengers travelling from or through the three West African countries affected by Ebola, namely Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia,” he said.

The measure does not affect health workers fighting the epidemic, Macharia said, nor Kenyans returning home from the three countries...

**Kenya has joined some other countries like Bahrain in barring people from the infected countries from entering their land. in fact, if a Nigerian exists Bahrain now, he/she wont be allowed back into the country. that's how bad it is. and i think the bad publicity generated from Nigerians is the major reason why other countries believe Nigeria is swimming with Ebola..**
