Friday November 28th the Coast Guard secretariat, in close cooperation with the health & safety coordinator of the Agency for Maritime Services and Coast (MDK), organized a meeting on the subject of Ebola. A number of Belgian coast guard partners were worried about possible danger of contamination when boarding ships that come from countries affected by the epidemic. To minimize the danger of contamination as much as possible, a special procedure was adopted and clarified for the benefit of the coast guard partners. The Belgian national coordinator for Ebola was also present at this meeting to address any further concerns the coast guard partners might have.
