  • Guinea - Ebola outbreak - 2021 - 23 cases including 12 deaths - declared over

    Is Ebola virus disease back in Guinea? In any case, this is what the Gu?ck?dou laboratory thinks, which examined samples taken following four suspicious deaths recorded in Gou?k?, in the N'Z?r?kor? prefecture. The information was confirmed by Dr Sakoba Ke?ta, director general of the National Health Security Agency, interviewed by Guineematin.com in the afternoon of this Saturday, February 13, 2021.

    “There is a nurse from Gou?k? who fell ill towards the end of January. She died between 27 and January 28 and was buried on 1 st February to Gou?k?. Among those who attended the funeral, there were 8 people who exhibited signs: diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding. Three of them died and four others are hospitalized in N'Z?r?kor?.

    The last one had escaped, but we caught up with him last night, he is currently in Nongo (Conakry). So we asked our agents to take samples which were sent to the Gu?ck?dou laboratory. This laboratory gave the results of the examinations today around 2 pm; and they think it is Ebola virus disease, ”he said.

    However, health authorities remain cautious for the moment. Dr Sakoba Ke?ta announces that a second test will be carried out in the coming hours in Conakry to verify whether it is indeed Ebola or not. “We asked that we send a sample that will arrive this very evening in Conakry and we also took the patient who is there. We are going to do new examinations because when an illness has just started, we always have to make reconfirmations.

    Tomorrow, around 1 pm, we will have the results to know if this is reconfirmed. In the meantime, my team headed by the DRS (regional health director) of N'Z?r?kor? to identify all the contacts and isolate them, ”said the director general of the National Health Security Agency (ANSS).

    Between the end of 2013 and the end of 2015, the Ebola epidemic officially produced 2,536 out of 3,804 cases recorded in Guinea.

          4 dead 4 hospitalized, unknown on others or runners

          Four Ebola deaths in Guinea, the first since 2016 (official)

          February 13, 2021
          Four people died of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in Guinea, the first victims since 2016, the Guinean minister of health said on Saturday.
          It is the first outbreak of the disease in West Africa, where the worst epidemic in the history of this virus emerged, between 2013 and 2016.
          "We are really concerned, there are already four deaths from Ebola hemorrhagic fever in the Nz?r?kor? region," (southeast) in the forested part of Guinea, Minister R?my Lamah told AFP.

          According to the director of the National Health Security Agency, Sakoba Keita, quoted by the Guin?eMatin portal, a nurse fell ill at the end of January and died "between January 27 and 28".
          "Among those who participated in his burial, eight people had symptoms: diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding. Three died and four others are hospitalized in Nz?r?kor?," Keita explained.
          Keita confirmed these statements to AFP.

          Both he and the Minister of Health indicated that a laboratory in Gu?ck?dou had detected the presence of the Ebola virus in some tests, and that the authorities expect additional test results within a few hours.
          "We take all measures, an alert team is in place to identify contact cases," Lamah told AFP, underlining that there had been "no reappearance [of the virus] since 2016."
          "As a human, I am worried, but I remain calm because we manage the first epidemic and vaccination is possible. There will be a crisis meeting tomorrow," Sunday, added the minister.
          The Ebola virus was first identified in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in 1976.
          At the moment, there are two experimental vaccines but there is no treatment capable of curing the virus.

              questioned by Mediaguinee, the Guinean Minister of Health, General-physician R?my Lamah largely returned to the suspected cases of Ebola in N'z?r?kor?, in the south of Guinea. Reaction…
              “For the record, it was yesterday during the day that I was seized by the director of N'Z?r?kor? hospital in relation to suspected cases. Patients they received who showed symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, bloody stools.


              After the exchanges, I immediately asked them to isolate them. What was done. The DRS called me, we exchanged. They took samples to send for analyzes.

              But long before, in the family which was at the origin of these demonstrations, there is the man named Abraham who had first lost his wife. After his wife, his wife's first son died. And I believe his wife, when she was sick, they took her to a traditional healer who also died. So, the three patients who were admitted to N'Z?r?kor? hospital for the same symptoms were all isolated and samples taken for analysis. One sample was sent to Conakry, the other was sent to Gueck?dou.
              0
              Last night, among the three who were isolated, there is one who died. So, the sample that was sent to Gu?ck?dou, we have just been informed by the DRS to say that the sample was positive for Ebola. But for the sake of caution, we are waiting for the second sample, which has just arrived in Conakry, for the analysis to be made to be able to confront our diagnosis of Ebola, because there must be two examinations which confirm so that we can make a statement. Never mind, all the arrangements have already been taken at N'Z?r?kor? and Gou?ck?.
              As you and I exchange, there is a team made up of DPS and DRS to be able to isolate the family in which these unfortunate events took place.
              The second sample arrived in Conakry an hour ago, it is sure that by tomorrow, in the evening, we will have the results.

                  Guinea faces Ebola 'epidemic', health chief says


                  By AFP
                  UPDATED: 09:27 EST, 14 February 2021

                  A top Guinea health official said Sunday that the country has plunged into an Ebola "epidemic situation" with seven cases confirmed in the West African nation, including three deaths.

                  "Very early this morning, the Conakry laboratory confirmed the presence of the Ebola virus," Sakoba Keita said after an emergency meeting in the capital.

                  Health Minister Remy Lamah had earlier spoken of four deaths. It was not immediately clear why the new toll was lower.

                  ....Keita, head of the National Agency for Health Security, said one person had died in late January in Gouecke, southeastern Guinea, near the Liberian border.

                  The victim was buried on February 1 "and some people who took part in this funeral began to have symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting, bleeding and fever a few days later," he said.

                  Samples tested by a laboratory set up by the European Union in Gueckedou, located in the same region, revealed the presence of the Ebola virus in some of them on Friday, said Keita.

                  He added that with a total of seven cases and three deaths, Guinea was now in an "Ebola epidemic situation."

                  - WHO on 'full alert' -

                  WHO representative Alfred George Ki-Zerbo told a press briefing: "We are going to rapidly deploy crucial assets to help Guinea, which already has considerable experience" treating the disease.

                  ....In Guinea's neighbour Liberia, President George Weah put the country's health authorities on heightened alert Sunday.

                  Weah "has mandated the Liberian health authorities and related stakeholders in the sector to heighten the country's surveillance and preventative activities," his office said in a statement.

                  No cases of Ebola had been detected in Liberia so far however, it added....https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/af...hief-says.html

                    Guinea declares new Ebola outbreak

                    By Reuters Staff

                    3 MIN READ

                    CONAKRY (Reuters) - Guinea declared a new Ebola outbreak on Sunday, as tests came back positive for the virus after at least three people died and four fell ill in the southeast - the first resurgence of the disease there since the world’s worst outbreak in 2013-2016.
                    The seven patients fell ill with diarrhoea, vomiting and bleeding after attending a burial in Goueke sub-prefecture. Those still alive have been isolated in treatment centres, the health ministry said.

                    It was not clear if the person buried on Feb. 1 had also died of Ebola. She was a nurse at a local health centre who died from an unspecified illness after being transferred for treatment to Nzerekore, a city near the border with Liberia and Ivory Coast.

                    “Faced with this situation and in accordance with international health regulations, the Guinean government declares an Ebola epidemic,” the ministry said in a statement....

                      WHO- New Ebola outbreak declared in Guinea

                      14 February 2021
                      Brazzaville/Conakry – Health authorities in Guinea today declared an outbreak of Ebola in the rural community of Gou?k? in N’Zerekore prefecture after three Ebola cases were confirmed by the national laboratory, marking the first time the disease has been reported in the country since an outbreak ended in 2016.

                      Initial investigations found that a nurse from the local health facility died on the 28 January 2021. Following her burial, six people who attended the funeral reported Ebola-like symptoms and two of them have died, while the other four have been hospitalized.

                      Guinea was one of the three most-affected countries in the 2014–2016 West Africa Ebola outbreak which was the largest since the virus was first discovered in 1976.

                      “It’s a huge concern to see the resurgence of Ebola in Guinea, a country which has already suffered so much from the disease. However, banking on the expertise and experience built during the previous outbreak, health teams in Guinea are on the move to quickly trace the path of the virus and curb further infections,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Africa. “WHO is supporting the authorities to set up testing, contact-tracing and treatment structures and to bring the overall response to full speed.”

                      During the West African outbreak, WHO and partners supported Guinea to build up its capacity to respond to Ebola and the country has developed crucial expertise. Guinean health workersplayed a key role in supporting the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) with its recent outbreaks, with teams of vaccinators helping to train health workers in the DRC.

                      WHO staff are already on the ground. In addition to surveillance they will help with ramping up infection prevention and control of health facilities and other key locations and reaching out to communities to ensure they take a key role in the response. WHO is also supporting the country to procure the Ebola vaccine which has proven instrumental in controlling outbreaks in the DRC.

                      Samples of the confirmed cases have been sent to the InstitutPasteur in Senegal for a full genome sequencing to identify the strain of the Ebola virus.

                      With the epicentre of the current outbreak in a border area, WHO is already working with health authorities in Liberia and Sierra Leone to beef up community surveillance of cases in their border districts as well as strengthening their capacity to test for cases and conduct surveillance in health facilities. WHO is reaching out to Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, Senegal and other countries at risk in the sub-region.

                      During the West Africa Ebola outbreak there were 28 000 cases, including 11 000 deaths. The outbreak started in Guinea and then moved across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia.

                        Guinea reports 7 Ebola cases, including three deaths in new outbreak

                        Febr 14, 2021

                        Guinean health minister confirmed Sunday seven Ebola cases, including three deaths in a new outbreak of Ebola, in the N’Zerekore administrative region in southeastern Guinea.

                        All of the seven reported cases, four men and three women, have been isolated.

                        The Guinean Minister of Health Remy Lamah confirmed at the end of an emergency meeting with the presence of several officials of the National Health Security Agency (ANSS), the representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Guinea and other foreign technical partners.

                        Giving the history of the recent appearance of the disease in Guinea, General Director of the ANSS, Sakoba Keita, recalled that it was started by a nurse from N’Zerekore, who fell ill with symptoms of Ebola and died on February 1. A few days after the burial of the patient in Gbeke, some parents started to show symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting and high fever.

                        Thus, samples taken from the patients were firstly analyzed at the local diagnostic center, which confirmed cases of Ebola hemorrhagic fever. After double confirmation of medical analyses in Conakry, “we can say that this reality puts Guinea in a situation of an Ebola epidemic”, said Keita.

                        In the coming hours, the Guinean government will make an official declaration of an Ebola epidemic, and the N’Zerekore treatment centers will be reactivated in order to receive any confirmed cases.

                            Ebola: the toll is growing, Kassory Fofana speaks ...
                            NZEREKORE-The toll of the Ebola virus disease declared in Guinea this weekend, is increasing. A fourth death was recorded on the evening of Sunday, February 14, 2021, at the N'z?r?kor? epidemiological treatment center, Africaguinee.com learned.
                            According to the prefectural director of health of Nz?r?kor?, it is an old woman who was among the 4 people hospitalized at the Ctepi of the eponymous city. So far, of the seven officially recorded cases, four have died of Ebola .
                            While concern grows among the populations, the Prime Minister tries to reassure in the face of the resurgence of this epidemic in Guinea.

                            ....
                            The first cases of Ebola were reported in the rural commune of Gouek?, in the prefecture of N'Z?r?kor?.

                              Ebola in Forest Guinea: "patient zero" vomited ... "blood"
                              CONAKRY-How did Ebola get back to Guinea? While the health authorities announce extensive investigations to know the origin of the resurgence of this highly contagious and fatal viral disease, a "certainty" remains.
                              For now, all agree on the thesis according to which it all started with a nurse who fell ill who finally succumbed to it. In the sub-prefecture of Goueck? where she was in service, several other people fell ill. It is in the prefecture of Nz?r?kor?, capital of Forest Guinea from where the Ebola epidemic started, which five years ago killed more than 10,000 people in West Africa.
                              “There is a very well-known nurse woman in the Gou?ck? sub-prefecture. She got sick, she was vomiting blood. She was transported to Nz?r?kor?, where she died. Afterwards, there were two other people who got sick. They were sent to the Nz?r?kor? CTE, they are also dead. Three other patients from the same family are under treatment. We took the sample that we sent to Gu?ck?dou where there is a very efficient laboratory in the region and also to Nongo in Conakry. It has been established from both tests that it is Ebola fever.


                              We met with health workers and development partners to quickly bring the disease under control so that it does not leave the Gou?ck? sub-prefecture. Because each of us knows the devastation that this epidemic caused in 2014. Everywhere these patients have gone are contacts. So, it is a question of putting them somewhere during the 14 days to see if they do not show the symptoms of the disease, confided Saa Yola Tolno, prefect of Nz?r?kor?.
                              He encouraged the populations to respect the barrier measures, currently trampled on the ground in the city. “ I ask everyone to respect the preventive measures. I have noticed that citizens have abandoned these measures while the two epidemics (Ebola, Coronavirus) have almost the same mode of transmission. So you have to avoid shaking your hands and continue to wash your hands with soap and gel, ”he advises.
