Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian President, has
declared a state of emergency in the country as a result of the rapid
spread of Ebola Virus.
Declaring a state of emergency for 90 days, Sirleaf reportedly stated that ignorance, poverty, and entrenched religious and cultural practices, were factors responsible for the worsening spread of the disease, BBC reports.
Health officials in the country revealed that the virus is also spreading rapidly because “many people are keeping sick relatives at home instead of taking them to isolation centres.”
The situation is definitely getting harder each day and becoming more difficult to handle.
