Equatorial Guinea confirms eight more Marburg cases: WHO

Al Jazeera  

Recent cases of Marburg disease have also been reported in Cameroon and Tanzania, according to the WHO. Eight new confirmed cases of the Marburg disease have been reported in Equatorial Guinea, the World Health Organization has said. “The confirmation of these new cases is a critical signal to scale up response efforts to quickly stop the chain of transmission,” WHO Africa Director Matshidiso Moeti said in a statement on Thursday. “We need to convince people that this way of saying bye to loved ones is not going to be the normal way because of the risk involved.” Marburg virus disease is a viral haemorrhagic fever that can have a death rate of up to 88 percent, according to the health agency. Neighbouring Cameroon also detected two suspected cases of Marburg disease last month despite restricting movement along the border to avoid contagion.
