That is good news! Hope it’s under control quickly
The virus responsible for the new #Ebola in Guinea is Ebola Zaire, @drmichelyao1 reveals during today's @WHO presser. This is good news. The only available Ebola vaccine protects against Zaire ebolavirus. Were it one of the other Ebola strains, the Merck vaccine would not work.

Still no word on this. Not sure why INRB hasn't yet reported on it.
