Ivory Coast raised an alert for the Marburg virus after neighboring Ghana this week announced the West African nation’s first outbreak of the highly infectious hemorrhagic disease.
The warning comes in response to a “high risk of spreading,” the Ivory Coast health ministry said in a statement. Any suspected cases should be immediately flagged, the authorities said, calling for careful sample collection and transit protocols.
