Marburg virus outbreak in Ghana: What you need to know
For the first time in the country's history, the Marburg virus has been detected in Ghana. The infectious disease is one of the most dangerous known viruses.
An outbreak of the life-threatening Marburg virus has been declared in the western African country of Ghana, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.
The outbreak was announced after the confirmation of positive samples from two men in southern Ghana that were tested in a lab in Senegal.
Both men, who were not related, died in late June after seeking treatment at the same hospital, according to the WHO. At least 90 people have been deemed suspected contacts and are in quarantine
