News: Ebola in Mali spreads, Imam from Guinea unknowingly infects doctor & nurse

This we pray should come to an end soon.

More than 90 people are in quarantine in Mali after a cleric from Guinea who was carrying the Ebola virus infected a nurse and a doctor before dying.

A nurse has already died after treating the imam at a private clinic in Bamako after he sought treatment for what doctors initially thought was kidney failure.

Yesterday a doctor at the same clinic was also revealed to be infected. A woman who was being treated at Bamako's Gabriel Toure Hospital - the city's second largest - tested positive as well.

Mali's first case of Ebola was a 2-year-old girl who had been infected in Guinea and died last month.

Just as the people who had been in contact with her finished their 21 days of quarantine, Mali must now trace those who had contact with the nurse and those infected with her.
