The question everyone asks is whether the Ebola virus has emerged in the district of Santanfara, sub-prefecture Dialakoro, Prefecture of Dinguiraye and close to Dabola?

According to the President of the District of Santanfara, Idrissa Sacko: "It is a patient who left Siguiri for Conakry via Kankan ; on his arrival in Kouroussa he passed away. His body was returned to his village Diankana 2 in the district of Santanfara where he was buried. One of the persons who accompanied the body has just passed away this Friday morning, another is sick. As the district president, given the evolution of the situation, I told everyone to stay away from the body or touch it until doctors come to the test. We made a call to Dabola which is 45 kilometers from our district and 65 kilometers of Dinguiraye for doctors to come to us for help, because an apparatus suitable for this kind of test is not available to our district of Sandanfara ".

He deplored the fact that since this morning, 7am GMT, they made this call, it is 13 hours, so far no health workers came to their rescue. "As I speak, we have the body here and we see no doctor for sampling."

The Director General of the Prefectural Hospital Dinguiraye Dr. Abdoulaye Sy, joined by our reporter, said he was not aware of this information, "I do not have that information, when I have it I will keep you informed" he has promised.

For now, the general secretary of the communities in the prefecture of Dinguiraye, Filifing Dansoko would have alerted the agents of the Guinean Red Cross service for their deployment to the district Santanfara to take care of the body.
