Cape Town – Health authorities in Ivory Coast say that the patient who tested positive for the country’s first Ebola case in 25 years has made a full recovery, according to reports on Friday.
The country reported its first case of the viral haemorrhagic fever on August 12 after initial investigations found that the patient had travelled to Ivory Coast from Guinea by land and arrived in Abidjan on August 12. The World Health Organisation says that there is no indication that the case is linked to the earlier outbreak in Guinea.
The West African country declared an Ebola outbreak in one of its regions on February 14 when seven people fell ill with diarrhoea, vomiting and bleeding after attending a burial in Goueke, near the Liberian border. On Monday, August 23, Ebola booster dose vaccinations kicked off in neighbouring Sierra Leone following administration of the prime dose of the Johnson & Johnson Ebola vaccine in May this year.
