Obama speaks with world leaders about Ebola

President Obama worked the phones Monday, speaking with world leaders about global efforts to contain the Ebola virus.

"Given the threat posed by Ebola, at this crucial juncture members of the international community must redouble their resolve and commitment to stay the course and decisively address the Ebola crisis," said a White House statement on Obama's conversation with United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

Obama also spoke with French President Francois Hollande about Ebola, as well as international efforts to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

"On the Ebola outbreak, the two leaders agreed that more must be done, and quickly, to establish treatment facilities in the affected African nations, and that all countries must play a role to stop the spread of this disease and to save the lives of those afflicted," the White House said of the Hollande conversation.

It also said that Obama and Hollande "discussed additional measures that may be taken to stem the spread of Ebola outside the region already affected, including passenger screening upon departure and arrival."
