Monrovia – The Government of Liberia, in its latest move to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019, has declared a state of national health emergency. The government has even gone further to invoke the Public Health Law of Liberia, designating Montserrado and Margibi Counties as infected areas. Dr. Jallah declared the two counties “infected areas” in keeping with Title 33, Chapter 14 of the Liberian Code of Laws Revised, known as the Public Health Law. “Except for cargo, chattered and special flights, all commercial flights are hereby ordered suspended as of Monday, March 23 at 11:59 PM,” Dr. Jallah said. For the markets, Dr. Jallah announced that the Incident Management Team will work along with the Liberia Marketing Association to implement the requisite protocols for all markets during this period.
