These include:- (1) Setting up of a national task force. The national task force will:- (a) continuously monitor the situation (b) ensure preventive measures are in place; and, (c) ensure that the country is adequately prepared to respond to any occurrence. The task force, which is chaired by the Director of Public Health and Sanitation will be meeting twice in a week to assess and advise on any evolving situations. Similar committees have been formed at the border districts with Uganda and are meeting regularly. (2)All health workers in the country have been put on high alert and have been provided with Ebola fact sheets and other guidelines. Due to the good surveillance measures put in place, the health workers are now on high alert for any suspicious cases."
