Kenya Airways will suspend flights to Liberia’s capital Monrovia and Sierra Leone’s capital Freetown due to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the company said on Saturday.

The suspension of the flights will start at midnight on Tuesday Aug. 19, Kenya Airways said in a statement. The carrier, which is part-owned by Air France-KLM, flies a total of seven times a week to the two cities through Accra.

The company said it took the decision on the advice of Kenya’s Ministry of Health. The ministry earlier said four suspected cases of Ebola in Kenya had tested negative for the virus. Details of the nationalities of the four suspected cases were not immediately available.
