Continued unsafe burials are largely fueling Ebola flare-ups in Guinea and
Sierra Leone, where 35 cases were reported last week, just days after the
countries had seen their lowest weekly case tallies of the year, according
to outbreak updates today.
.
The geographic range of cases also expanded amid the rise in cases, which
the World Health Organization (WHO) today said was substantial. The number
of new cases reflects the region's highest weekly total in the past month.
.
Top outbreak response officials have warned that the end of the outbreak
could be long and bumpy, and the WHO hinted last week that response
indicators in Guinea were shaky and that cases might increase and expand
in the weeks ahead. Guinea has had several flare-ups and declines over the
course of the outbreak.
.
Overall, the WHO said the outbreak total in the affected region has
reached 26,933 confirmed, probable, and suspected cases, including 11,120
deaths.
.
Ramped-up response in Guinea
.
The developments triggered an urgent mission to Guinea yesterday by
response partners, amid fears that the spike in cases could spread to
neighboring countries, especially Guinea-Bissau, which borders Guinea's
Boke district in the northwestern part of the country, one of the newly
emerging hot spots, according to a statement today from the United Nations
Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER).
.
Fatoumata Lejeune, UNMEER spokeswoman, said in the statement that after
making progress toward getting to zero, the new uptick in cases is
disappointing. "But we're all keeping the faith, and taking the steps we
need to make sure we deal with this as quickly as possible, and to help
Guinea get on the path to recovery.
