At its October 15 session, the government decided that the Health and Labor Inspection Body will temporarily carry out controls at the border crossing point of Zvartnots airport to prevent the entry of the Bundibugyo (Ebola) virus. The decision is linked to the COP17 conference to be held in Yerevan on October 19-30 and the leaders' summit on October 16, as some of the participants will arrive from countries with epidemiological risk.
