Ebola will not go quietly, says WHO official after rise in cases
Guinea and Sierra Leone have reported 35 new Ebola cases in the past week, four times as many as the week before, in a reminder that the virus “will not go quietly”, a World Health Organisation official has said.
“It will take an extraordinary effort to finish the job,” the WHO’s special representative for Ebola, Bruce Aylward, told a briefing attended by health ministers.
“With the start of the rainy season today, the doubling of effort will be that much more difficult, that much more important,” he added, referring to increased logistical challenges for health workers.
The 35 new cases in the week to 17 May were in six districts of Guinea and Sierra Leone, with most infections in Guinea, Aylward said. Nine new cases were confirmed the previous week.
