Comments: On the 21st of March the Government of Guinea confirmed a suspected viral haemorrhagic fever outbreak that had been developing since early February as Ebola. Lab tests now confirm 6 suspected cases of Ebola and outbreak response activities are being ramped up significantly. Figures of case loads and effected areas are still being defined but current government figures are as high as 80 cases and 60 deaths with more cases expected. The epicentre seems to be a small rural town called Gueckedou in southern Guinea. Gueckedou is extremely close to both the Sierra Leone and Liberian boarders and communities in all three countries are at risk.
