The aforementioned agencies have unequivocally affirmed that these rumors are entirely devoid of truth and lack any credible basis.
Dr. Sory Conde, a representative of the Guinean health authorities, has emphatically confirmed that, as of the present date of February 8th, 2024, there have been no confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease within the nation.
Furthermore, it is imperative to note that the World Health Organization's (WHO) country office situated in Freetown has not received any official notifications or reports that substantiate the aforementioned claims.
