Airport
document reaching Tmz Liberia Magazine and confirmed by the Liberian authority, shows that Thomas Eric Duncan
lied on his departure screening questionnaire before leaving Liberia. The paper
shows that Duncan answered "no" to questions about whether he had
cared for an Ebola patient or touched the body of someone who had died in an
area affected by Ebola.
The
form in the possession of Tmz Liberia Magazine also showed that Mr. Duncan
registered a temperature of 97.34 degree Fahrenheit before departing Liberia on
Brussels SN flight-1241.
Liberian
authorities said Thursday they will prosecute Mr. Duncan when he returns to
Liberia for allegedly lying on his airport departure screening questionnaire
about whether he had had contact with a person infected with the virus.
The
chairman of the board of directors of Liberia Airport Authority, Binyah
Kesselly, also told reporters in Monrovia that Thomas Eric Duncan will be
prosecuted when he returns to Liberia.
In
another development, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf told Canadian
public broadcaster CBC on Thursday that she would consult with lawyers to
decide what to do with Duncan when he returns home.
"The
fact that he knew (he was exposed to the virus) and he left the country is
unpardonable, quite frankly," Johnson Sirleaf told CBC. "I just hope
that nobody else gets infected."
"With
the U.S. doing so much to help us fight Ebola, and again one of our compatriots
didn't take due care, and so, he's gone there and ... put some Americans in a
state of fear, and put them at some risk, and so I feel very saddened by that
and very angry with him, to tell you the truth."
The
latest Ebola outbreak has killed 3,338 in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia,
Senegal and Nigeria, the World Health Organization says, prompting several West
African countries to closely monitor travelers in and out of the country.
