WHO to hold emergency talks on Ebola in Ghana

WHO is set to hold emergency talks to discuss the Ebola epidemic. 

The meeting in Geneva will examine screening measures at borders and consider whether stricter travel regulations should be put in place.

New rules in the US require travellers from the worst affected countries to arrive at one of five airports.

A curfew has also been imposed in a town in Ebola ravaged Sierra Leone after two people were shot dead in riots yesterday.

The current outbreak of the virus has already killed more than 4,500 people mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The WHO has faced criticism of reacting too slowly to the spread of the disease.

Its emergency committee will meet to discuss Ebola for the third time with the aim of assessing the efforts so far to contain and control the virus.
