(LINA) –The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced an increase in the price of the ordinary Liberian passport beginning May this year.
According to the Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal Affairs, Boakai Kanneh, the new biometric passport will cost US$50, replacing the current manual one which costs US$23.
(LINA) -The Head of the Incident Management System (IMS), Tolbert Nyenswah, has urged Ebola survivors to abstain from sex or use condom during sexual intercourse to prevent a resurgence of the Ebola virus.
Nyenswah noted that although it is scientifically proven that the virus can inhabit the semen of male survivors for up to 82 days, the recent outbreak in the country in which a male survivor was linked has set the stage for further scientific probe.
Liberia has began another countdown of two incubation periods amounting to 42 days to be declared an Ebola-free nation two days after the death and burial of the last confirmed Ebola patient in the country.
Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah said if none of the contacts generated from the recent infection is proven positive of the virus, the nation will be declared an Ebola-free nation upon completion of the 42-day incubation periods.
