A Message from Former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf:

As one who with the official and international teams led and successfully defeated the Ebola virus that devastated our country, I urge our government, particularly the Minister of Health and her team to mobilize relevant Action Responders such as Community Health Workers and seek materials such as vaccines, PPEs, etc.

It is important to seek advice and guidance from the World Health Organization through their national health office and the regional health office based in Nairobi, which I visited during our Elders meeting a couple of weeks ago.

I join members of the local authorities and other voices, who urge citizens and residents to remain calm, as we are not facing a crisis. But it is important to take important personal measures, such as refraining from handshakes, and other forms of unnecessary interactions.

Let me say that we all have stood together to address threat to our country, and this is just my call to urge us to do so right now.
