Ebola And Travel To The UK
John Hemming
2014-10-16
That this House notes the nature of the threat from the Ebola virus; agrees that the virus needs to be defeated in West Africa to protect the world; recognises that transmission of the Ebola virus from person-to-person requires close contact; further notes, however, that the limited screening process in the three countries where it is not under control, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, has already failed in one instance, as would be likely to happen; further notes that the additional screening process being introduced by the Government would not have picked up that case; further recognises that the failure of control in Dallas demonstrates the difficulties and that this requires a UK response; believes that the risk from Ebola is so great that it warrants an element of overreaction in order to pick up undetected cases as quickly as possible and that monitoring on a daily basis of all cases at-risk rather than just those who are deemed to be higher risk would be worthwhile both for the potentially infected people and the rest of society; and calls on the Government to implement this and all other practical mechanisms to ensure that any case of infection is dealt with as quickly as is possible.
