The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that Guinea is free of Ebola.
According to CNN, declaration
was made because 42 days have passed since the last person confirmed to
have Ebola tested negative for the second time.
And
now, the country is entering into a 90-day period of heightened
surveillance to ensure that any new cases are identified quickly.
You
will recall that the Ebola outbreak that ravaged West Africa began in
Guinea in December 2013 and spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and seven
other countries.
