Parliamentary Secretary for Heath Chris Fearne tweeted this morning that a national drill will take place next month in a bid to enhance Malta's preparedness to tackle an eventual Ebola case in Malta.
He said that screening measures have been strengthened at all ports of entry, as was reported by The Malta Independent last week in an interview with top officials from Mater Dei Hospital who have been assigned the task to ensure that all precautionary measures are in place.
Dr Fearne is expected to make a parliamentary statement this evening after question time.
