IMO optrapper kampen mod Ebola

IMO har nu tilsluttet sig WHOs internationale indsats mod spredning af den farlige Ebola-virus - Ebola Travel and Transport Task Force. I forbindelse hermed har IMO udsendt en række anbefalinger til skibsfarten om, hvordan den skal forholde sig til sygdommen.

IMO indskærper i et udsendt brev, at personer der er smittet med Ebola - eller har været i kontakt med en person smittet med Ebola - ikke må få adgang til skibe, og at personer der viser tegn på Ebola smitte straks skal bringes i land og sikres hospitalsbehandling.

WHOs Ebola Travel and Transport Task Force blev startet op i sidste måned og har allerede nu opbakning fra stort set alle store transportorganisationer, herunder the International Chamber of Shipping, the Cruise Lines International Association, the International Civil Aviation Organization, the World Tourism Organization, Airports Council International, International Air Transport Association og the World Travel and Tourism Council.

Det nuværende Ebola udbrud menes at opstået i Guinea i december sidste år, hvorfra det har spredt sig til Liberia og Sierra Leone. Der er bl.a. også registreret Ebola-smitte i nigerianske Port Harcourt, der er en central havn for olieindustrien.

Udbruddet menes indtil nu at have kostet omkring 2.000 mennesker livet.
