I would normally take the following article at face value--but given the lack of reporting from WHO in the Angola outbreak, I require more definitive proof (i.e. something from DWB/MSF or IFRC) before I will accept the statement below.

Training Exercise Responsible for Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever Alert



This report is apparently a miscommunication. There is no outbreak of Ebola
haemorrhagic fever in Equatorial Guinea. I have received this information
from a colleague in Equatorial Guinea.

"Maybe you heard about an Ebola Case in Bata (Equatorial Guinea); they
talked about it during the week-end on Radio France Internationale.
According to a WHO representative, what really happened was that a training
exercise was held to update medical workers on haemorrhagic fevers.
Evidently some people thought that there really was an outbreak of Ebola!"

I, too, require more proof.
