Hong Kong installs detection systems as WHO declares Ebola a global problem - Detection systems installed at Hong Kong's borders as epidemic that has killed nearly 1,000 in Africa is declared international emergency
The World Health Organisation yesterday declared the Ebola epidemic in West Africa an international public health emergency needing a coordinated global response.
The outbreak has killed 961 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria since it was first reported in March.
Hong Kong's Centre for Health Protection (CHP) said the risk of the city being affected remained low, but it has stepped up precautions, such as installing detection systems at hospitals and border crossings.
