Liberia’s President has declared a state of emergency in the West
African nation amid an Ebola outbreak that shows no signs of slowing.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf made the announcement on national
television late Wednesday, saying that some civil rights may have to be
suspended as a result of the crisis.
Observers say the crisis in Liberia has deepened because many people are
choosing to keep their ill relatives at home instead of bringing them
to isolation centres.
The disease that has killed at least 282 people in Liberia alone is
spread through contact with the bodily fluids of Ebola patients showing
symptoms.
