Liberia Suspends All Football Matches in Effort to Control Spread of Ebola
 

Liberia has suspended all football activities in an effort to control the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.  

The football association said there was a risk of infection because football is a contact sport. 

According to UN figures the number of people killed by the virus in West Africa has now reached six hundred and 72. 

A major regional airliner, Asky, said it has halted flights to the Liberian and Sierra Leonean capitals because of growing concerns about the virus.  

It is the second airlines to take such a decision, following the deadliest Ebola outbreak ever.
