Despite closing boarders by banning Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone in the bid to halt the spread of Ebola, Senegal reports its first Ebola case.
Senegal’s health minister, Awa Marie Coll- Seck informed reporters on Friday that an infected man coming from Guinea came into Senegal with the virus and was quarantined immediately.
The young Guinean is a student who wanted treatment at a hospital in Dakar but however did not reveal the nature of his illness to the hospital staff. This angered residents in Dakar.
The Ebola outbreak, which began in Guinea, has killed more than 1,500 people across the region, and at least 3,000 people have been infected with the virus.
Hence, regarding the spread of Ebola from one country to another, do you think it is wrong to seek for medical help from another country?
