Ebola: Chad Closes Borders With Nigeria

The Chadian government has closed all Border links to Nigeria, following South Africa’s footsteps in the introduction of travel restrictions to Nigeria and other Ebola affected countries.
Prime Minister Kalzeubet Payimi Deubet said the country is to shut down its border with Nigeria as part of efforts to prevent Ebola from entering the country.

This was announced after South Africa banned entry to the country to all non-citizens travelling from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, while Liberia has quarantined entire neighbourhoods to try to stop the spread of the deadly virus. But, the World Health Organisation officials have warned that the suspension of flights and imposition of travel restrictions are unhelpful and could undermine the capacity to respond. While advising countries to perform exit screening at airports, seaports and major border crossings.

the World Health Organisation is against any ban on international travel or trade.

Speaking to reporters, WHO spokesman, Gregory Hartl, said, “If you try to shut down air travel and sea travel, you risk affecting to a huge extent the economy, people’s livelihoods and their ability to get around without stopping the virus from traveling. You can’t ship goods in; sometimes these goods are basic staples people need to survive, food and fuel.”

According to a representative for the WHO Travel and Transport Task Force, Daniel Menucci, the travel ban will restrict humanitarian efforts and create more problems than it will solve. He said, “Any discontinuation of transport will affect humanitarian aid, doctors, nurses and human resources entering the country, the transfer of biological sampling and equipment for hospitals; all of this needs international transporting, international airlines. This will create more problems in helping the countries most affected.”
