CRI听力:35 New Ebola Cases in Guinea and Sierra Leone

Health officials say 35 new Ebola cases have been reported with in Guinea and Sierra Leone in the past two weeks.

This is 4-times the figures seen just weeks before.

World Health Organization Director-General Margaret Chan says the new stats are a reminder the virus will not go quietly.

"Our objective is: get to zero, maintain zero and early recovery of essential health services."

"The virus, in this case, Ebola, has shown us time and time again how easy it is for a single, cross-border traveller or a single unsafe burial to re-ignite transmission chains again."

Liberia, which was also inundated with Ebola cases over the past year, remains Ebola-free after the last cases were cleared earlier this month.

The WHO this week has announced the establishment of a 100 million dollar of contingency fund to deal with future pandemics.
