The Ebola outbreak resurfaced in Conakry

By Guinee7

The Guinean capital is again confronted with the Ebola outbreak with four new cases registered after a period of calm, do we learned from official sources on Monday.

These new cases of Ebola have plunged the capital into the "red zone", with 381 contacts listed, and followed by teams of national response coordination against Ebola.

Faced with this resurgence of the disease in the Guinean capital, people are invited to observe hygiene measures imposed by the specialists.

According to health authorities, the advent of these new cases of Ebola after several weeks of lull is due to a relaxation in the implementation of health emergency declared by President Alpha Conde in the area of Lower Guinea.

Another concern of the Coordination is the escape of some contacts at the level of the capital, notably in the municipality of Ratoma.

Regarding the Boke prefecture located approximately 300 kilometers from Conakry, the prefectural Coordination is concerned about the reluctance registered among some communities to comply to the intervention of the anti-Ebola teams.

Note that Guinea has recorded 3,751 cases with 2,505 deaths since the start of the Ebola epidemic there are more than a year.
