Ebola: a suspected case in Bissau a day after the reopening of Guinea border
12.12.2014 3:57 p.m.
It is a Guinean who crossed the border with fever. He was immediately quarantined, as well as eight people who were passengers on the same vehicle to Gab?, the capital of the region, reported Friday medical sources.
Gilda Helena Vieira De Almeida, Head Nurse of Buruntuma health post said the suspect had a temperature above 39 ? C. Further analysis of the case must be made.
The border between Guinea and Guinea-Bissau was officially reopened Tuesday after nearly four months of closure and the suspect case crossed Wednesday, the day that followed.
The other eight passengers have been quarantined, according to Ms. De Almeida Vieira who deplores the lack of means of control and especially trained personnel to deal with the influx of people crossing the border every day.
Bissau announced December 4th Tuesday the reopening its borders with Guinea that were closed after 12 August due to the Ebola epidemic raging in the country.
Officially, a monitoring device was installed and isolation rooms furnished at border crossings.
In November, a team from the World Health Organization (WHO) had completed its assessment mission in Guinea-Bissau in concluding that "inefficient health system of the country does not permit to face a epidemic of Ebola ", lacking laboratory and qualified staff.
It had lamented the closure of borders with Guinea "because people bypass the checkpoints."
