The county level Task Force, chaired by Superintendent Solo, comprises the Liberia National Police, Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization, UNMIL, Christian and Muslim communities and the Liberia National Red Cross Society of Liberia.

The Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, Olaska W. Barh, told the Liberia News Agency Friday that he Task Force was set up following a lengthy meeting during which citizens and residents of Grand Gedeh were given updates by the health authorities in the county about the disease.

Barh said the work of the committee is to disseminate information about Ebola in order to prevent it from entering Grand Gedeh, one of several counties not yet hit by the disease.
