Guinea declares new Ebola outbreak with first deaths since 2016 – Brisbane Times
It is the first resurgence of the disease in Guinea since the world’s worst outbreak in 2013-2016 killed more than 11,000 people.
The 2013-2016 outbreak of Ebola in West Africa started in Nzerekore, the proximity of which to busy borders hampered efforts to contain the virus. It went on to kill at least 11,300 people, with the vast majority of cases in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Fighting Ebola again will place additional strain on health services in Guinea as they also battle the COVID-19 pandemic. Guinea, a country of about 12 million people, has so far recorded 14,895 coronavirus infections and 84 deaths.
