1. #Marburg: Concerning details from @WHO about the Marburg outbreak in Ghana. The 2 newest cases (#3 & #4) are the wife & child of the first case, who died June 27. @SoceFallBirima says the child was infected through contact with the mother, not Case #1. The child has died.
2. The wife, #Marburg case #3, refuses to go to a treatment center where she can be safely cared for. She is in a prayer camp, where the practice of laying on of hands is used to try to heal people, @SoceFallBirima said. The response team is trying to negotiate her transfer.
3. This is a dangerous situation which could result in a number of additional #Marburg cases in the Ghana outbreak.
