He described the responsibilities as spreading preventive messages, contacts accepting to be in isolation, washing hands regularly, reporting sick people, among others.
 
Nyenswah, who just returned from the United States of America where he participated in series of consultative meetings relative to the Ebola crisis in Liberia, made the statement based upon his experience with Ebola surveillance and contact tracing activities in the USA.
 
Speaking at the Ministry of Information daily Ebola press conference at the ministry on Tuesday, Nyenswah noted that his ability to voluntarily comply with daily Ebola surveillance system in the USA is an example that every Liberian should follow.
 
Making specific reference to the recent St. Paul Bridge cluster infection chain, he blamed it on the movement of contacts from one place to another.
 
“If you are declared as a contact, remain a contact by going through the regular 21 days scrutiny, and until you are cleared by health workers, continue to comply with every regulation,” Nyenswah said.
 
According to him, Liberia has earned a high reputation in the world for the level of work done to roll back Ebola, adding that to finally get the country to zero infection every Liberian must shoulder the final responsibility.
