In Canada, there have been no confirmed cases of Ebola. An outbreak of the viral disease is centred in West Africa. Nigeria and Senegal have now been declared Ebola-free by the World Health Organization.
Earlier on Monday, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the province will contribute $3 million to support the emergency response to the outbreak in West Africa.

In Halifax on Monday, a team from the federal Public Health Agency of Canada was to brief health-care providers on the techniques to prevent spread of the disease should it hit in this country.
