Whereas three new confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease were registered in the week to 18 October 2015, all in Guinea; whereas the country had reported zero cases for the previous two weeks; whereas Sierra Leone reported zero cases for a fifth consecutive week; whereas the WHO declared Liberia free of Ebola virus transmission in the human population on 3 September 2015; whereas there have been 28 512 confirmed cases, including 11 313 confirmed deaths;

However, new infections can emerge as has been shown by HIV/AIDS in the 1980s, variants of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the 1990s, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2003 and, more recently, pandemic influenza (H1N1) in 2009, the Ebola virus outbreak in 2014 or the Zika virus outbreak in 2016.
