Ivory Coast hunts for Ebola case contacts
Efforts are underway to trace, test and isolate all the contacts of an Ebola patient in Abidjan, the commercial capital of Ivory Coast. The authorities there announced the positive case at the weekend - the country's first for more than 25 years.
The woman travelled on a bus for five days from Guinea to Abidjan. She's now recovering in a specialist Ebola treatment centre where any contacts showing symptoms would also be taken. Those who don't have any symptoms will be given the vaccine.
Dr Jean-Marie Yameogo is the World Health Organisation's Representative in C么te d'Ivoire.
