Understanding Ebola

Understanding Ebola
By admin


An epidemic of the Ebola virus disease is ongoing in some West African countries.

The outbreak first began in Guinea in March 2014. Since its initial outbreak, the virus has spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone. The outbreak is the most severe in recorded history in regard to both the number of human cases and fatalities.

Australian travellers are being warned that if you choose to visit West African nations reeling from an Ebola virus outbreak, you are on your own if you run into trouble.

The deadly virus has killed nearly 700 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia since March. It has a 90% fatality rate and no known cure or vaccine.
