CONAKRY, GUINEA - Four people have died of Ebola in Guinea in the first resurgence of the disease in five years, the country's health minister said Saturday. Remy Lamah told AFP that officials were "really concerned" about the deaths, the first since a 2013-16 epidemic — which began in Guinea — left 11,300 dead across the region. The four deaths from Ebola hemorrhagic fever occurred in the southeast region of Nzerekore, he said. Keita also told local media that one patient had "escaped" but had been found and hospitalized in the capital, Conakry. It was the country's 11th Ebola outbreak, claiming 55 lives out of 130 cases.
