Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, where the Ebola outbreak began more than a year ago, are all reporting a decline in the number of new Ebola diagnosis in the past several weeks. Now government officials in Guinea have announced the launch of a campaign to end Ebola in Guinea in 60 days. Officials say that Ebola sweepers that go through communities to find new Ebola cases early, laws that ban secret burials of Ebola victims, and increased Ebola education are the main forces that will rid Guinea of the deadly virus.
