The Ghanaian authorities should not joke with ebola. The Liberian who just returned from his country should be quarantined for 21 days before he is released (that is the incubation period for ebola). The Liberian who went to the US and later died of ebola did not show any signs of the virus on his arrival there. This is dangerous and the neighbours are right to be scared.
Why is the police dealing with this man when it should be the health professionals who should be assessing him? How come he went to Liberia when people were running away from there and who allowed him entry into Ghana?

What is wrong with the Ghana Police? The man was not even referred to the Police Hospital,which would have been the most sensible thing to do. The Police officer just examined his travel documents and told the man to go back to the house.How stupid!

The officer at the police station was surprised the case was reported first to the police. The police should have referred the suspected Ebola case to Korle Bu Hospital or any hospital in the city that is equipped and has trained personnel to deal with any suspected Ebola case. The way this was handled was wrong and it simply means Ebola constitutes a huge public health and security threat.
The suspected Ebola patient claims he entered the country through the airport so couldn't the police have obtained a verification from the airport security? Unbelievable! There's no coordination between the security agencies, especially those at the points of entry and the hospitals. The first Ebola victim in the US, Eric Duncan, a Liberian national, did not disclose to the hospital authorities in Texas he has had contact with an Ebola patient prior to his arrival in the US. Suspected Ebola cases must be treated with the utmost professional competence and precision. There is zero room for incompetence with Ebola.

Ebola is not police matter. And trust me no Liberian wanting to run away from that godforsaken country is going to admit to being near an Ebola victim knowing very well that to admit to it is to face a denial of entry into a country. Moreover given that it takes some few days for the symptoms to manifest themselves there is nothing that Ghana police can do to clear anybody of Ebola. Before we know it it will be too late, the cat will have been out of the bag.
This Liberian should be quarantined for a period of 21 days before being allowed to mingle about. He is in all probability a walking carrier running away from his country for a better health care should his symptoms begin to show. They will say anything and lie about everything to get as far away as possible from Liberia and the other affected countries. That is how Thomas Duncan got into the USA in hopes of getting better health care after being near Ebola victims. In the end he has carried the disease to others in the USA.
Whilst at it, I think we should cremate everybody without exception, anybody who dies from Ebola.

We should be doing the same instead of allowing anybody from the affected countries in who shows some damned paper in our face that he has been cleared of Ebola. The disease does not show any symptoms until after about 10 days of getting it. So if somebody caught it today in Liberia and takes a plane tomorrow to Ghana, they are not going to detect it at the airport. The prudent thing to do is to quarantine anybody who arrives from those affected countries for a minimum of 22 days. We cannot play any niceties with this disease for fear of "embarrassing" anybody. Damn diplomacy and niceties, ebola should be treated like biological warfare on us.

Kwamina, you should reflect on your a view. Don't you think that by refusing the tenant the basic access for entry into his rented accommodation is mot only illegal but denial of the tenant's fundamental human rights?. Much as the landlord is trying to safeguard the interest of the remaining tenants, he equally has equal right to promote the interest of this guy. As some have already commented, the landlord should have reported the situation to the Health Authorities in his area in the first instance in order to work out the best formula for handling the rather sensitive situation, instead of the Police. Tell me Kwamina, what would be your reaction if you were to denied entrance to your place of residence/abode on your arrival arrival from Liberia, Sierra Leone or an African country at an airport or a place of entry in another country without any medical test or examination? You talked about your rent but is that all you can think of? The world is a global village and no country, city, town or village can foolishly claim to be unconcerned about the happening in another country because the is rapid social mobility country all over the corners of the world. To your information US and GB who could have responded with concern and provide medical help and support to prevent the spread of the Ebola when the Ebola was first reported but rather took a reluctant attitude have now reported cases of the ebola and incidence of death in their communities. Spain has also officially, declared ebola in the country and are taking practical and constructive measures and global approach towards the prevention and protection of the population against ebola.

I am wondering whether the Sowutuom Police took the necessary precaution when interviews this reference person.
We must heed the President's call to be serious about this disease since I believe the experts are even not sure of the mode of transmission. Maybe it is transmitted air borne and we not been told the truth just to suppress panic situations and also to prevent the world economy from grinding to a halt. We must regard this as a plaque of Biblical proportions and plead with the Lord Almighty, the Great Provider and Protector to intervene.

We need to applaud Mr. Denkyi for his proactivenes. Gauging from matters arising out of Mr Duncan USA Ebola issue, even the sheriffs office are been faulted for going to Mr Duncans house without the appropriate PPEs. I am won ...

ARE THEY TRAIN IN EBOLA TO DETERMINE IF SOMEONE HAVE EBOLA OR NOT?
What do he meant by EBOLA suspect grilled by police? sick reporting with some sort of hate within.. Sad that Liberians are discriminated against in Ghana... GOD forgive us
This is not discrimination this is protection,the landlord is trying to prevent his tenants period.
WHAT MAKE ANY POLICE MAN IN GHANA EXPERT IN EBOLA TO DETERMAINE IF A PERSON HAVE ANY EBOLA?COME ON BROTHER WAKE UP
Stop talking rubbish! All Liberians are Ebola suspects! Why does anybody hate Liberians? Hate them for what? The war ended long ago. Charles Taylor is behind bars, Samuel Doe is dead. Stay in Liberia and help with its reconst ...

@Esi, you are sick and need to see the doctor immediately. You sound like one of those stupid Ghanaians using this chatroom to spread hate
Joe, l perfectly agree with you.Why did the report use ebola suspect.The guy never show any sign of ebola.
The landlord may have done the right thing but I very much disagree with Ghanaweb for posting such information to its viewers. Is this the best way to contain such an information? Awareness to the public also brings fear to ...

he has to be sent fro screening,simple.there is no two ways.is now a menace and have to be handle with care not the normal Ghanaian way of playing with necessary thing.
Here again is our problem. should it not be that the police should have referred him to hospital for further evaluation. Ebola may not be noticed until after 21 days and so you guys must be careful. the news media rather than ...

And how is he an ebola 'suspect'? Is he showing any signs of the disease or he's simply guilty by association, in other words, he's a 'suspect' because he traveled there & for being a Liberian?
And he was cleared by the inspector-in-charge of the station? When did Ghana Police start performing medical duties? Even someone was cleared to go home by a hospital in the US and the person was later rushed to the same hos ...

Mr Denkyi well done don't joke with
ebola watch out most Liberians are
carriers
This man should be quarantined for some days before allowing him to stay in the community. Documents could be right but the disease could show signs date some days. So he should be isolated or quarantined.
UnbelievablE! only in Ghana. Police call the health officials. This guy must be closely monitored and maybe quarantined for 21 days. It is only then that he could be declared ebola free. I will not be surprised if this ebola ...

Kwame ofori , be wise. Know the incubation period of ebola before you pour out jazz like it's coming out of your anu*.
U very stupid. If you want me to educate yiu on Ebola contact me.
Tell your mama and papa that.
Take him to hospital n test his blood.Duncan said that.in his message.be serious about it
The ghana immigration should have let a especially doctors to examine them first during their arrival at the airport to find out before entering into the country.
Is EBOLA looking for only people from Liberia?
That Liberian man, Duncan, went to America knowing very well that he been among people who had died of Ebola! Yet he failed to disclose that fact. If the Americans had quarantined him, innocent people would not be fighting fo ...

A VERY GOOD COMMENT! PARTICULALY OVER DUNCAN
In a way Duncan was partly responsible for his own death. He might still have been alive today if he had disclosed this most important information to the hospital as soon as he felt ill. He would have immediately been quarant ...

This Police officer should be relieved of his duties immediately. The man should be sent back to Nogouchi for testing immediately. This the mistake the Americans did, and now Ebola is in America. For the next few weeks, more ...

Was he tested at the airport? or he just showed the said paper and passed through?
HOW CAN THIS MAN ROAMING FREE AMONG PEOPLE. HE SHOULD BE QUARANTINE FOR 21 DAYS. IF HE IS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGN OF EBOLA BEFORE SET HIM FREE.
If he arrived by air,why not the KIA health authorities to counter check his claim?Your wolf-crying behavior is tantamount to harassment.
Well, in Monrovia it`s already a sport to go to the market, and when it`s time for payment you announce to be ebola positiv. No one will take your money or the purchased goods back! All this is soon coming to Ghana.....
Hey, it's sad and very hurting but, when death is facing you, you have to act and act quickly. Anything that can wipe away a whole community just for shaking hands is nothing to play with or pamper. Though it is no fault of o ...

The right thing to do is monitor him for 21 days as recommended by WHO. He should stay home and not have any physical contact with anyone,
Being a Liberian that not make me a virus. The question you must ask is does the person shows any dign or symptoms of the virus.
Stupid Landlord and tenants.
Pray that what is happening in Liberia does not one day happen ...

Joe , the Liberian who took ebola to Nigeria did not show any sign of infection, neither did the Liberian who infected people in the US. This guy must be quarantined before he puts lives in danger. Nobody here hates Liberian ...

Jungle where did you get your source of information from.
Let me congrats Mr Denkyi for the steps He took about the Ebola suspect situation on my own personal way I confer the title of Omanbapa to you and I hope the rest of us will emulate from Mr Denkyi to be each others keeper
Sorry to say this, but some Ghanaian Policemen are soo stupid and ignorant. The Liberian suspect should be reported to the medical personnel, for him to be quarantined for 21 days and monitored. then tested for the virus. It' ...

The police declared him Ebola free? Does the police have this training? And the immigration at the airport beckoned him in? Yes, Ghana is prepared for this disease indeed!
