Travel restrictions create dilemma for war on Ebola

Ebola Outbreak

Despite warnings that isolation is getting in the way of Ebola aid efforts, most airlines have suspended services to Sierra Leone and Liberia.

The World Health Organization and its international partners have hundreds of people on the ground in the three countries hardest-hit by the deadly virus. Controlling the epidemic is getting increasingly difficult due to the isolation of those countries by airlines and other entities.

Medical experts say it is unlikely that passenger planes would spread Ebola, but the airline industry is taking no chances.
