Guinea confirmed a return of the disease to the country following the reporting of seven cases and the deaths of three people at the weekend.

Sanna Sambou the head of epidemics at the ministry of health who had also been in charge of the nation’s Ebola response told The Fatu Network a plan is already in place.

“With Ebola, there is already a plan in place. All we need to do is just revisit those plans and implement them,” Sambou said.

Sambo however said Gambians should not leave the issue to the ministry alone.

“This should not only be associated to the Health Ministry this is the responsibility of everyone, be it stakeholders, security, journalists etc.

“My main worry is with the border control which lies purposely with the security because we have people who can smuggle in various ways and this might lead to the importation of the virus,” he said.
