Ebola vigilance encouraged

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned on Tuesday that as long as there is one Ebola case in West Africa, "all countries are at risk". He urged all nations to support the final battles to wipe out the deadly disease in Sierra Leone and Guinea. "We are on the home stretch now, and what happens now is critical," the UN chief told a General Assembly meeting on efforts to end the Ebola epidemic that has killed over 11,100 people, mainly in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, since it was first reported in March 2014.
