The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared Senegal "Ebola Free". This is with regards to successfully passing the 42 days benchmark without any new confirmed case in the Country.
The 42 daysbenchmark is two times the maximum incubation period for the Ebola Virus Disease.
In a statement,
“WHO officially declares the Ebola outbreak in Senegal over and commends the country on its diligence to end the transmission of the virus,” it said in a statement.
“While the outbreak is now officially over, Senegal’s geographical position makes the country vulnerable to additional imported cases of Ebola virus disease.
“It continues to remain vigilant for any suspected cases by strict compliance with WHO guidelines,” the agency said.
