Conakry, Jumada II 9, 1437, Mar 18, 2016, SPA -- Two family members have died from Ebola in Guinea, two days after the World Health Organization said the region was "effectively managing" the virus, dpa cited the government as saying on Friday. Postmortems of the two family members in the area of Koropara in the N'Zérékoré prefecture revealed the presence of the hemorrhagic fever virus, the government said in a statement. "Currently, there are two confirmed and three probable cases. To this end, the health authorities have taken appropriate measures to contain the spread of the disease outside this area," the statement said. WHO said on Wednesday that all original chains of transmission in the epidemic have been halted, but that small flare-ups are anticipated due to virus persistence in the fluids and tissues of some survivors --SPA 12:37 LOCAL TIME 09:37 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
