Ebola in India

November 20, 2014 02:37 am | Updated 02:37 am IST

The detection of what should be the first case of Ebola in India should open the eyes of authorities to the grave danger posed by the virus to India’s vast population (Nov. 19). Though the authorities must be congratulated for detecting the case and reassuring us, the fact remains that awareness campaigns must be started on a war-footing. Authorities at all ports of entry to India must follow strict quarantine measures.
