French authorities Friday recommended for a second day that nationals suspend all travel to the West African countries where cases of Ebola fever were identified in a bid to prevent the deadly disease's spread in France, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Travel should be suspended to the four countries where cases of Ebola fever were found—Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria—unless for "imperative reasons," the Foreign Ministry said on its website.
French citizens who travel to the area should avoid going to the jungles of Guinea and the areas identified in Sierra Leone and Liberia, the ministry said, adding people shouldn't consume or manipulate meat from jungle animals, and should avoid direct contact with bodily fluids from people suffering from high fever.
When returning to France, people traveling from the four African countries should immediately contact emergency health services if they show symptoms such as fever.
