ALGIERS, Oct. 20 -- Algeria on Monday denied reports of the detection of Ebola virus cases on its territory, local media reported.
APS news agency quoted Minister of Health, Abdelmalek Boudiaf, as saying that "no cases of Ebola were recorded in Tamenrasset province, 2,000 km south of Algiers, or in any other region nationwide, as reported by some local media."
Recently, the World Health Organization warned that Algeria is among the North African nations that are threatened by the spread of Ebola virus, following some cases recorded in neighboring Mali and Mauritania, local media reported.
Earlier in August, the Algerian health authorities said a wide scale preventive measures have been taken on the southern border of the country to counter the spread of deadly Ebola virus.
Those measures include mobilizing medical staff in border areas, the state-run radio said, citing a medical source in the southernmost province of Tamenrasset.
These medical teams consist of four doctors tasked with the mission of providing health care coverage in the border areas. The authorities have also established sanitary control post at the airport of Tamanrasset.
The North African nation has detected no case of Ebola so far, specified the source, adding that the prevention operation also includes raising awareness of local residents in border areas and travelers to African countries on the risks of this contagious disease.
Some 4,000 people have been killed by Ebola virus in West Africa, according to media reports.
The Ebola virus, which is transmitted between humans through bodily fluids, hit Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and has spread, in recent months, to other neighboring countries.
