EBOLA RESURFACES IN GUINEA

 Two new cases of Ebola have been confirmed in Guinea, the first in the country since it was declared Ebola-free in late December, according to the World Health Organization.

The cases were discovered after officials investigated three unexplained deaths in the rural village of Koropara. Family members of the deceased were tested for Ebola, and two people; a woman and her 5-year-old son, tested positive for the disease, WHO said in a statement. (The organization did not say whether the people who died also had Ebola.)

Guinea's Ebola outbreak was declared over on Dec. 29, 2015, but officials said they expected that additional, small outbreaks of the disease would still occur in Guinea and the two other West African countries; Liberia and Sierra Leone,where the outbreak raged for two years.
