The World Health Organization (WHO) said Monday that there are currently no cases of Ebola in Mali, but 39 people are still being sought after sharing public transport with a two-year-old who died from the virus.
A WHO spokeswoman said that 108 contacts were being followed up, including 33 health workers. But epidemiologists believe that the 39 contacts who have not been traced are at low risk, as they are unlikely to have had physical contact with the toddler.
The girl's sister had a fever and was tested and found to be suffering from malaria. Other family members are under observation in the same hospital and doing well, WHO said.
