. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/o2973cy . .Britain and the United States have stepped up measures to counter the spread of Ebola as more people were isolated in Europe and Africa to monitor them for symptoms of the deadly virus.
.An eight-hour exercise was being held in various locations across Britain on Saturday to test how the country would deal with a potential outbreak of the virus, which has killed more than 4,000 people worldwide.
.Actors have been used to simulate patients with symptoms of Ebola to test the response of emergency services, government ministers and health chiefs. The Department of Health has not disclosed where the exercises are taking place.
.Meanwhile, US authorities are introducing new border checks at airports in the wake of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan, the first patient to be diagnosed with Ebola outside Africa. Duncan had travelled to the US from Liberia, and was only diagnosed with the disease once he arrived in Dallas.
.New Yorks JFK airport is to start enhanced screening passengers from the west African countries worst affected by Ebola, and checks will begin in the next few days at another four: OHare in Chicago, Newark, Washingtons Dulles and Atlantas airport.
.The move comes amid criticism of the failure to admit Duncan when he first went to the hospital in Texas and told staff of his recent arrival from Liberia, delaying his treatment by at least two crucial days and potentially exposing others to the virus. It took almost a week to clean the apartment where he stayed and health officials briefly lost track of a homeless man whom they were monitoring for Ebola symptoms.
