Conakry, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) - Health authorities in the town of Banankoro located in the prefecture of K?rouan?, in south-eastern Guinea, sounded the alarm about the "explosion" of cases of Ebola in the diamond mining city, where five deaths were reported Tuesday, the state radio reported on Wednesday.
Eleven suspected cases were recorded in this locality. In all, 18 cases of suspected patients were sent Tuesday to the improved treatment center of Macenta .
Corroborating testimonies indicate a widespread panic that has gripped the inhabitants of Banankoro.
According to the prefectural coordinator of the response against Ebola Prefecture K?rouan? Dr. Moumini Diallo, this is due to the reluctance of people to admit the existence of the Ebola outbreak in the area.
Patients would be hiding and unsecured funerals would prevail in the area, which resulted in the spread of the disease to Banankoro
The authorities in the region Wednesday will hold a large meeting in Banankoro to invite people to come forward to caregivers agents deployed in the area.
Given the magnitude of contamination, the number of contacts to be followed to date is 450, according to Dr. Moumini.
