A fifth person has died of Ebola in southeast
Guinea since March 17, a health official told Reuters on Tuesday,
raising concerns that a recent flare-up of the deadly virus could spread.
The latest case was detected in Macenta
prefecture, about 200 kilometers from the village of Korokpara where the
four other recent Ebola-related deaths occurred, said Fode Sylla Tass,
spokesman for National Coordination of the Fight against Ebola in
Guinea.
The man, who has not been identified, had
recently visited Korokpara and had been in direct contact with the first
patients, Tass said. He was buried in the village of Makoidou without
any sanitary precautions.
