Monrovia (AFP) - Liberia's information minister said Tuesday the government had closed all borders with Guinea following Conakry's announcement of five likely deaths from Ebola in the country's south.
"We have closed all our borders with Guinea as a precautionary measure due to the new outbreak of Ebola in Guinea," information minister Eugene Nagbe told AFP.
