Ebola border quarantine
[edit]Para was mentioned in a 10 October 2014 Bloomberg news story about Ivory Coast's Ebola border quarantine.
- <quote>Alassane Sogodogo, a cocoa farmer in the town of Para, a small town about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the border with Liberia, said closing the border has helped limit the number of people crossing over. People still cross the border on bush tracks and residents are “a bit worried but less than they used to be.” “At least they’re not selling bushmeat any more,” Sogodogo said by phone yesterday. “There is no Ebola in the village on the other side of the border, so we don’t believe Ebola will arrive here.” People in Para are being more careful and are washing their hands more often, he said. Still, hand sanitizer is too expensive for many people, he said. </quote>
I didn't see anything of lasting value worth adding to the article. The area does export cocoa as a cash crop. --Bejnar (talk) 04:00, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
