Summary 

As our live blog coverage continues, here’s a summary of where things stand: 

• A Macedonian health ministry official said a hotel in Skopje had been quarantined with people inside after a British man died there after exhibiting Ebola symptoms. 

• A community centre in a Paris suburb was quarantined after four children recently arrived from Guinea were said to exhibit Ebola symptoms. 

• Six people were under quarantine in Madrid, Spain, where the condition of a nurse diagnosed with Ebola was said to be deteriorating. 

• Leaders of West African nations hit hardest by the outbreak made an urgent appeal for additional aid to an emergency meeting in Washington of officials from the UN, IMF and World Bank. 

• The World Health Organization said 3,865 people were reported to have died in West Africa by the end of 5 October – but the true total was likely much higher. 

• “Cases are growing exponentially,” UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon said. Infection rates appeared to be surging in some areas while declining in others. “We need a 20-fold surge in our response,” Ban said. 

• A smallish group of US lawmakers asked President Obama to institute a travel ban from West Africa countries in the hot zone. 

• This blog includes many first-person testimonials from people whose lives have been touched by Ebola. These include: a medic in Liberia; aid workers in Sierra Leone; a vaccine test subject in the UK; a teen orphaned by Ebola; three Ebola survivors; a Canadian Ebola medic; and a documentary maker in Sierra Leone.
