At least three people in Guinea have died from Ebola and an additional four people have been confirmed to be infected, according to the country's health authorities.

The cases announced by the health ministry on Sunday are the first since the deadly Ebola epidemic ravaged the country, alongside Liberia and Sierra Leone, five years ago.

The latest seven positive cases had attended the funeral of a nurse in Goueke on 1 February before later showing Ebola symptoms including a fever, diarrhoea, and vomiting.

The Guinean government has declared an Ebola epidemic as a result and started contact tracing and isolating suspected cases.

"I confirm it's Ebola. The results prove it," health minister Remy Lamah told the Associated Press news agency.

The patients were tested after showing symptoms of hemorrhagic fever. Those who came in contact with them are already in isolation, officials said.

Is it part of 'the sign of the times' or is it just the Devil's world going from bad to worse. Whatever it is, it's a horrible situation.
