On December 29, 2015, the World Health Organization declared the end of Ebola virus transmission in the Republic of Guinea. Forty-two days had passed since the person with the last confirmed case tested negative for the second time. On that date, Guinea entered a 90-day period of heightened surveillance to ensure that any new cases would be identified quickly before they could spread to other people. In light of this announcement, Christian Bréchot wanted to convey his thanks for the concerted effort and commitment to the fight against Ebola virus disease.
