Ebola Outbreak Reaches Guinea Capital

The Ebola virus has spread from Southern Guinea to the capital, Conakry. The virus has already killed 59 people and infected many more since last month. Ebola is spread through person to person contact, and its symptoms include, internal and external bleeding, vomiting, and diarrhea. There is no cure or vaccine for Ebola, so officials can only attempt to contain the outbreak. Medical charities plan to fly in drugs and containment equipment from France.
