Ivory Coast has now joined the growing number countries banning flights from any of the Ebola hotspots in the continent.
The government Monday said it had banned all flights from countries hit by Ebola as part of steps to prevent the deadly virus from reaching its nation. 
 It says it has forbidden all “carriers from transporting passengers” from countries affected by the Ebola outbreak.
Even though it did not name or specify countries affected by the ban, nearly 1,000 people have died from Ebola in Liberia, Sierre Leone, Guinea and Nigeria, which are all in West Africa.
