The DRC continues their countdown, but Guinea’s was interrupted with a new case in Soulouta, along with a cluster of suspicious deaths. If no new cases emerge, the DRC’s outbreak will be declared over in early May. Guinea’s newest case was reported on 4/2. There is ongoing investigation to make sure there are no more cases.
