Guinea Ebola free marks milestone in West Africa
The World Health Organization declared Guinea Ebola-free on Tuesday, a major milestone after two years of outbreak that began in Guinea and spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia. More than 28 000 people infected and 11 300 died in the region. Guinea enters 90 days of heightened surveillance while Liberia nears a new countdown to possible Ebola-free status.
