Five Dead in New Ebola Outbreak in Guinea, Contact Tracing On

News 18  

Guinea has recorded up to 10 suspected cases of Ebola and five people have died since the start of a new outbreak of the deadly virus in the southeast of the West African nation, medical authorities said on Tuesday. Guinea's ministry of health said it has identified 115 contacts of the known cases in the city of Nzerekore in the country's south east and 10 in the capital Conakry since the outbreak was confirmed on Sunday. Unlike the deadliest known outbreak, which tore through West Africa from 2013-16, Guinean authorities have said they are better prepared to stop the spread of the virus. Fearing a spread of the disease that could cripple their under-funded health systems which are also battling the coronavirus pandemic, neighbours Ivory Coast, Mali and Sierra Leone said on Monday that they have launched plans to stop any potential spread and reinforced border controls.
