{{Security forces in Liberia’s capital have deployed to enforce a quarantine in a large slum area in Monrovia in order to contain the spread of Ebola.}}<\/p>\n

The isolation of West Point and a countrywide night-time curfew are the latest anti-Ebola measures to be ordered by the president.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the year, more than 1,200 people have died of the virus in four West African countries.<\/p>\n

In Nigeria, a top Lagos doctor has just died of the virus.<\/p>\n

That brings the number of people who have died of Ebola in Nigeria to five, the health ministry said.<\/p>\n

Colleagues said consultant Stella Ameyo Adadevo was the first medic to order that a sick patient from Liberia be tested for Ebola when he was admitted in July.<\/p>\n

“We owe her a lot; she managed the situation like a thorough professional that she was. She had helped Nigeria to contain the epidemic in her own way,” Akin Osibogun, the chief medical director at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, told Nigeria’s Premium Times newspaper.<\/p>\n

Officials says five people have recovered from the virus in Nigeria and have been discharged from hospital in Lagos. Two are still being treated.<\/p>\n

Since the outbreak spread to Nigeria in July, several airlines have stopped flights to the region.<\/p>\n
