The move came after the Ivory Coast closed its land borders to prevent the spread of Ebola on to its territory. The country has already imposed a ban on flights to and from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. Gabon, Senegal, Cameroon and South Africa have taken similar measures. The WHO says travel bans do not work, and that what is needed is more doctors and officials to help trace those infected with Ebola, as well as more mobile laboratories. Last week, two US doctors were discharged from a hospital in Liberia after being given the ZMapp drug, while three Liberian medics are also recovering well. Ebola is spread between humans through direct contact with infected body fluids. It is one of the worlds deadliest diseases, with up to 90% of cases resulting in death.
