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.
