Panic Erupts As Ghana Records Its First Case of Ebola Virus

A male U.S citizen is currently being tested for the Ebola virus in Ghana.

The man who is said to have visited Sierra Leone and Guinea recently, has been quarantined in Nyaho Clinic, a private facility in the capital, Accra.
Although Ghana’s health ministry is urging citizens to stay calm, as “precautionary measures” have been put in place, many Ghanaians are understandably bothered.

Ebola spreads through contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids.
The virus has so far killed more than 460 people since it broke out in Guinea in February and spread to neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone. It is the world’s deadliest outbreak to date and there is no cure for it.
