#Ebola disease is back in Africa! Kills five in Guinea

Five people have died of Ebola in Guinea, the health agency has said, as the government and aid groups begin to roll out their response to the outbreak.

It is the first resurgence of the disease in the West African country since the world's worst outbreak between 2013 and 2016 that left more than 11,300 dead in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. 

According to an epidemiological report by the country's health agency dated February 15, five people have now succumbed to the virus, rising from a death toll of four reported earlier on Monday.
