Thousands ‘evade’ Ebola lockdown in Sierra Leone

Thousands of people have defied Sierra Leone’s three-day lockdown to combat the Ebola virus by crossing the border into Guinea without going through health controls.

Health officials in Guinea said people were coming “in waves” through the bush, fearing they would be taken away if they were found to have the disease.

Ebola warning: CDC tells airlines to 'treat all body fluids as infectious'
Sept. 21, 2014

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, increasing their warnings on Ebola, is advising airlines and jet staff to treat all body fluids as infectious, even on domestic flights.

“Treat all body fluids as though they are infectious,” said the latest CDC update to airlines. The update notes that if Ebola is suspected, aircraft can be cleaned mid-flight. The update is apparently meant to stress the rights airlines have to block anyone who appears "ill" from boarding.
