Cote d'voire hunts fleeing Guinean health official suffering from ebola

Cote d'Ivoire has launched a hunt for a Guinean health worker who may have fled his home country after possibly catching the Ebola viral disease.

The man apparently took a flight after finding out that someone who came to his clinic for treatment had died, possibly of Ebola.

The unnamed health worker comes from an area in Guinea gripped by Ebola.

Cote d'Ivoire has just reopened its airports to flights from the three affected countries, with a first flight from Conakry, landing in Abidjan last Monday. 

Land borders however remain closed.
