I am a university student from Sydney. I'm interested in current affairs and all things economic. I play guitar and draw in my spare time.
Please don’t bite me, I’m a newbie!
I’m a university student in a Wikipedia Education class, and I’m currently learning how to contribute to Wikipedia.
I am approaching my subject in good faith.
If you have any concerns or questions, my tutor’s name is R stasey (talk · contribs). Thanks!

Activity 6.3.3 Paragraph
[edit]Forested Guinea was the origins on the pandemic, of the 2013-2016 Ebola crisis, and was the first country in Western Africa to record an Ebola virus outbreak. The initial case of the outbreak was attributed to 2-year-old boy in the located Meliandou, Guéckédou Prefecture with the Zaire strain of Ebola who died December 6th 2013.[6] This subsequently spread to other neighbouring countries Liberia and Sierra Leone due the village’s proximity to their borders and the free flow of people between the three countries.[7] Ebola also spread to Conakry from Guéckédou, the first urban area in Guinea to be affected, with the first case recorded on the 17th March 2014.
The Ebola Crisis affected 3811 people in total in Guinea. Guinea was declared “Ebola-free” in December 2016; however, on March 17th, 2017 Nzérékoré recorded two additional cases of Ebola.[8] The Ebola crisis was said to have “brought a number of additional burdens”[9] to the healthcare system in Forested Guinea. There was a noted decrease in attendance to outpatient clinics and reduction in hospital revenue which weakened the financial stability of healthcare institutions.
