A baby has died of Marburg in Ghana as health authorities clarify the figures of those killed by the virus that is from the same family as Ebola.
This brings to two the total number of people who have died in Ghana in the current outbreak, as the 14-month-old’s father was the first person to have died in the country.
Meanwhile, the baby’s mother has tested positive for the virus but is “alive and well” according to a report sourced from the Ghana government, which says the mother is receiving care in an isolation center to prevent further spread of the illness.
