• Key performance indicators that monitor the EVD response in Guinea are shown in table 4.
• A total of 30 confirmed cases were reported in the 7 days to 25 January 2015 (figure 2), compared with 20 the week before. This is the first time this year that case incidence has increased in Guinea from week-to-week. Eight districts reported a confirmed or probable case during the reporting period (figure 2).
• The northern district of Mali, which borders Senegal, reported its first confirmed case (figure 1); a man who travelled from Liberia. Senegal has recently reopened border crossings with Guinea; surveillance in districts that border affected countries is being implemented.
• With 15 confirmed cases, the western district of Forecariah was the worst-affected district in Guinea, accounting for half of all confirmed cases in the week to 25 January. Forecariah borders the Sierra Leonean district of Kambia to the south, which reported 10 confirmed cases during the reporting period: the third highest weekly total of any district in Sierra Leone. There have recently been reports of high levels of community resistance to EVD response measures in Forecariah, indicating a need to better engage the community in the response.
• Conakry reported 6 confirmed cases (figure 2). The districts of Kissidougou and Macenta both reported their first confirmed cases in 21 days. 12 districts that have previously reported confirmed cases did not report any confirmed cases in the 21 days to 25 January; 3 have reported no cases for over 100 days (figure 1, figure 5).
• The mean laboratory processing time for Guinea in the 21 days to 25 January (data available for 3 districts) was 0.7 days (range 0.0?1.1 days); processing time is calculated by subtracting the date a sample is collected from the date the results of the sample are communicated to the national ministry of health. If results are returned on the day of collection, processing time is recorded as 0 days; therefore the average processing time in Guinea was between 1 and 2 days. Laboratory locations are shown in figure 7.
• In the week to 25 January, 30% of new confirmed cases arose among registered contacts; a fall from 53% the previous week. This may be attributable to the high proportion of new cases that arose in Forecariah, where efforts to engage the local community in response efforts need to be intensified.
• Of the 16 confirmed EVD deaths that occurred in the week to 18 January, 19% occurred in the community. Ideally all cases should be identified and treated in an Ebola-specific facility; there should be no EVD-related deaths in the community.
• In the week to 18 January, 29 unsafe burials were reported.

Rebound of the Ebola epidemic in Guinea: A dozen new cases confirmed in at least four prefectures

Posted by: Mosaiqueguinee.com in News, Society February 2, 2015

The news coming from the war front against Ebola in Guinea are not the most cheerful, far from it! In recent days, there has been a rebound of the epidemic in the country, a rebound is explained by moult observers by complacency, anti-Ebola practices and a decrease of the guard in the response.

18 cases including 9 confirmed across the country according to a final tally of national coordination in the fight against this epidemic, Guinea recorded in the space of a few days several confirmed cases and contacts.

Here, just in Lola, no fewer than 11 cases have tested positive, one case confirmed in Siguiri, a mining area of high population density in the east of the country, two cases in Tougu?, two health workers according to a the site of the place, which have been previously infected in For?cariah.

These figures confirmed by a member of Dr. Sakoba team, joined by mosaiqueguinee.com, show how important it is to intensify the crusade to finally get to break the contamination chain and bring the final blow to an epidemic made so many victims and harm the economy.

Ebola: latest Stats (Official)

On Ebola, the good news is living with the bad one. As much as the "encouraging" results for the first clinical trial of Favipiravir inspire hope in the fight against the virus, as much as the new rise in the number of cases worries.

In the space of two weeks (from January 23 to February 5), 136 cases of which 89 were confirmed were registered in Guinea. Ninety (90) of these cases died. And until the date of February 5, 52 cases including 27 confirmed and 25 suspected remained hospitalized in different the treatment centers of the country.

During the week ending, a new prefecture was affected; Tougu?. According to Dr Sakoba, the national coordinator of the response to Ebola, the virus was imported in this prefecture of Middle Guinea by cases who came from Conakry and Liberia.

Fourteen (14) prefectures have reported at least one case in the last 21 days.They are namely N'Z?r?kor?, Lola, Macenta, and Kissidougou (in Forest Guinea), Siguiri (Upper Guinea), Mali and Tougu? (in Middle Guinea), Conakry, Coyah, For?cariah and Boffa (Basse -Guin?e).

However,12 previously affected prefectures have not notified new cases for 42 days. Only seven of 33 prefectures have not notified confirmed cases. This is Labe, Mandiana, Gaoual, L?louma, Koubia and Mamou.

The National Response Coordination explains the resurgence of the disease by the reluctance of the population. As from the start, health workers must cross the opposition sometimes violent from people before raising awareness or care for victims of the virus. However, this reluctance is being defeated. Saturday, Dr Sakoba Keita said there are now 12 areas of reticence on 26 in the country.

The reluctance does not explain everything about the outbreak of new cases. The new figures are also explained by the fact that "villagers willingly travel to treatment centers." In other words, suspicious or hidden patients are discovered. Ebola is not won, but "Ebola is better," said Pr. Yves Levi form INSERM (National Institute for Health and Medical Research).

From the beginning of the epidemic until the date of 5 February 2015, Guinea has recorded 3015 cases with 1,976 deaths (65.5%) distributed as follows: Confirmed cases: 2640 of which 1626 deaths (61.6%), probable cases: 350 including 350 deaths (100%) and suspected cases: 25. A total of 987 people confirmed are healed and left the treatment centers (ie 37.3%).

GUINEA
 Key performance indicators for the EVD response in Guinea are shown in table 3.  A total of 65 confirmed cases were reported in the 7 days to 8 February 2015 (figure 1), compared with 39 the week before. This is the third week in a row that case incidence has increased in Guinea, and the highest weekly total since the first week of 2015
 The recent surge in cases is driven primarily by the western district of Forecariah (26 confirmed cases) and the capital, Conakry (21 confirmed cases).
 The 26 confirmed cases reported from Forecariah represent the highest ever weekly total reported from the prefecture. To the immediate south, the Sierra Leonean district of Kambia reported 11 confirmed cases in the week to 8 February, highlighting the need for close cross-border cooperation in order to stymie transmission.
 Community engagement continues to be a challenge in many areas of Guinea, with approximately one-third of EVD-affected prefectures reporting at least one security incident in the week to 8 February.
 A total of 8 prefectures reported a confirmed or probable case during the reporting period (figure 1).

EBOLA SITUATION REPORT 4 MARCH 2015
http://apps.who.int/ebola/sites/def... Ebola Situation Report_04-03-2015_0.pdf?ua=1
...


GUINEA
 Key performance indicators for the EVD response in Guinea are shown in table 3.
 A total of 51 confirmed cases were reported in the 7 days to 1 March (figure 1), compared with 35 cases the week before.
 Seven prefectures reported new confirmed cases, most of which are concentrated in the west of the country, with the majority reported from Conakry (17 cases), Coyah (5 cases), and Forecariah (23 cases). The neighbouring prefectures of Dubreka (2 cases) and Boffa (1 case) also reported new confirmed cases during the reporting period (figure 1).
 Macenta, which had not reported a confirmed case for 4 weeks, reported 2 new confirmed cases. The eastern prefecture Lola, which borders C?te d?Ivoire, reported 1 new confirmed case. Cross-border surveillance has been strengthened.
 At least one security incident was reported in 4 of 34 prefectures in the week to 1 March.
 Difficulty engaging with communities can make identifying contacts and tracing chains of transmission more challenging. As a result, some cases are only identified after post-mortem testing. Over half (16 out of 30) of the confirmed deaths from EVD in the week to 1 March occurred in the community. Over the same period, 12 unsafe burials were reported, compared with 19 the previous week.

Fight against Ebola: Two regions have not reported any cases for more than 50 days

Written by Amadou Kendessa Diallo

The national response coordination Ebola and Guinea's partners are working hard to achieve the goal Ebola zero in the following weeks. If this proves to be the biggest challenge for them, Dr. Sakoba is optimistic with the new measures taken to defeat Ebola.

In an interview with several media at the headquarters site guineematin, the national response to Ebola coordinator spoke on several subjects. As part of the fight against the pandemic, Dr. Sakoba Keita acknowledges that "significant progress has been made." But he regrets that the goal of zero Ebola on March 10 is not possible.

Before recalling: "When we set the goal of zero Ebola, it was necessary to pass the steps that we called intermediate targets: zero reluctance in all the country because at the beginning there were seventeen centers of resistance, zero Community deaths with unsafe funeral, zero infection in the health workforce, ensuring 100% contact tracing. " What has not been the case.

"Compared to the overall objective, he said, we can rejoice because by the time we declared these goals, there were many outbreaks in Upper Guinea and Forest Guinea. Today, it is clear that all the prefectures of Upper and Forest Guinea have reached zero Ebola in 60 days. "

However, recognized the national coordinator, the most striking fact is the Gueckedou prefecture where the disease began. "It is now almost 70 days without record of cases in this area and all contacts have been released. In sum, March 10, we will not be zero Ebola, but it will be very close to zero Ebola, "he says.

According to him, the main obstacles in this struggle are the reluctance and rumors. "Rumors have done much harm to our response devices and reluctance by misunderstanding," he concluded.

After the failure of "Zero Ebola in 60 days", Guinea wants to end the epidemic by April 15
...
The National Coordinator explained that the community deaths continue in Conakry and surrounding. And behind each community death, there are 15 hidden cases. To deal with the situation, he asked to denounce those who continue to hide the Ebola patients. Because, he said, the danger goes beyond the Guinean border. "I do not want that Guinea still be the source of the spreading in neighboring countries. It is time we get up, we need to become aware ... Today, we are a threat to our neighbors. The disease started with us, I do not want us to be the last to finish, "worries Dr. Sakoba Keita.
