Nigeria's Authority starts airport screening passengers 



Nigeria's Civil Aviation Authority says it has started screening passengers arriving from places at risk from Ebola. 


It has also suspended Pan-African airline Asky for bringing the first case to Lagos. 


According to a spokesman, monitoring is being done at all major international airports. 


It entails checking passengers' temperatures with a hand-held machine. 


This is meant for any journey that passed through Liberia, Guinea or Sierra Leone.  


A compulsory blood test would follow if the passenger's temperature gave cause for concern. 


International Airlines Association, IATA, says the WHO s is not recommending any travel restrictions or border closures due to the outbreak.
