Spain evacuates priest with Ebola from Liberia

Spanish Government said that an air force plane was leaving Madrid on
Wednesday to pick up a Spanish priest who has tested positive for the
Ebola virus in Liberia.

The Spanish defence ministry said this was in line with the strict
security and quarantine guidelines stipulated by the World Health
Organisation.

The priest is the third foreigner to be evacuated from Liberia after
an American doctor suffering from Ebola was flown to Atlanta, Georgia,
on Saturday.

Meanwhile, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had declared three days of
fasting and prayer with which to seek God's mercy with regards to the
Ebola outbreak that has killed 263 people across the country.

The President called on all citizens to fast between 6a.m. and 6p.m.,
starting from Wednesday.

WHO officials say the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa - which
has reached Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria - is the
deadliest on record.
