GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organization (WHO) is not recommending any travel restrictions or border closures due to the Ebola outbreak and there would be a low risk to other passengers if an Ebola patient flew, the airlines association IATA said on Thursday.

The International Air Transport Association issued the statement after several days of consultation with the WHO and the United Nations aviation agency ICAO, following the case of a man who died of Ebola after taking an international flight from Liberia to Nigeria with a stopover at Lomé.
