Two people have
tested positive for Ebola in Guinea, three months after the outbreak was
declared over in the country.
BBC
Africa Live report continues:
They are
being cared for at a treatment centre in the south of the country, close to
where the worst Ebola outbreak in history was first identified two years
ago.
It's
understood three members of their family had recently died after showing
symptoms of Ebola.
The
government says their village is now in lockdown and vaccines are being taken
to the area to try and protect those at risk.
The
World Health Organization has warned sporadic cases of Ebola are likely to
re-emerge as the virus can linger on in body fluids of some survivors.
Both neighbouring Liberia
and Sierra Leone have reported new cases after the outbreaks were declared over
there - but this is another major blow in the continuing fight against Ebola.
