Ebola Travel Advisory – Update

The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada maintains its ebola travel advisory. It advises travellers to avoid non-essential travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. To date, the number of cases in West Africa’s ebola outbreak is 2,240 according to the World Health Organization.
If you or anyone you know is planning to travel to West Africa, make sure you know what the ebola virus symptoms are. Some flights are still  flying into these countries, although more and more are being cancelled. British Airways and Emirates have cancelled their routes to Guinea and Sierra Leone altogether.

The World Health Organization has drafted a strategy against ebola, which they’ll implement in the next six to nine months. They don’t expect to stop the epidemic this year.
If you’re currently in any of these countries or are still planning to go and have coverage through one of our policies, this is how travel insurance can protect you against the ebola outbreak.
