WHO: Ebola death toll rises; 932 confirmed - CNN.comCNN said:Atlanta (CNN) -- Global fears of Ebola spread Wednesday after two more countries reported deaths of citizens they suspect had contracted the disease in West Africa.
Nigeria reported that a nurse died after treating someone believed to have contracted Ebola in Liberia. And Saudi Arabia reported that a man died, apparently of the virus, after a trip to Sierra Leone. The World Health Organization did not immediately confirm.
If confirmed, the two deaths would bring the worldwide total to 889. Nearly all of the deaths have been in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.
The nurse in Nigeria had helped care for a Liberian-American man who had traveled to Nigeria, where he died, the country's Ministry of Health said Wednesday.
Is it time to refuse entry of anyone traveling into the US who have recently visited Ebola stricken countries - namely Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria and the State Department issue travel restrictions to these countries as they have not issued travel warnings or restrictions to these nations yet?
