Guinea’s last Ebola patient discharged

Guinea’s last Ebola patient, a month-old baby, has been discharged from the treatment center. Guinea could be officially declared Ebola-free if in the next six weeks no new cases are reported.

Guinea was the last country still fighting the recent outbreak of the virus. Ebola is believed to have surfaced in a forested region of the country in 2013, and since then it has killed more than 11,000 people in western Africa.
