21 Dead As New Spike Of Ebola Cases Strikes Guinea, Sierra Leone

(Reuters) -- At least 21 people died and 37 new cases of suspected Ebola were recorded in Guinea between May 29 and June 1, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday, undermining the governments' claims that the number of Ebola deaths was slowing. The new figures take to 328 the number of cases linked to the disease in Guinea, of which 193 have been confirmed by laboratory tests. In total, 208 deaths have been linked to Ebola, making the outbreak one of the deadliest for years.
