Liberia's government has announced that it is closing down all schools across the country to stop the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

利比里亚政府宣布将关闭全国所有学校阻止埃博拉病毒的蔓延。

Some communities would be placed under quarantine（检疫，隔离） as well, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said.

Non-essential government workers will be sent home for 30 days and the army deployed¹ to enforce the measures.

The number of people killed by the virus in West Africa has now reached 672, according to new UN figures.

The BBC's West Africa correspondent Thomas Fessy says treatment facilities have reportedly been overwhelmed in the Liberian capital Monrovia.

Some wards² have already filled up, forcing health workers to treat some patients at their homes.

President Sirleaf said that Friday 1 August would be a non-working day in Liberia to allow for the disinfection of all public facilities.

"All non-essential staff - to be determined³ by the heads of ministries⁴ and agencies - are to be placed on 30 days' compulsory⁵ leave," she added.
