Guinea Bissau has decided to close its frontier with Eastern neighbor Guinea in a bid to prevent the entry of the deadly Ebola virus, Prime Minister Domingos Simoes Pereira said.

The disease has killed more than 1,000 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Reuters said.
Meanwhile, Germany urged its nationals to leave Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone due to concern over the Ebola virus, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.
