Last patient discharged from treatment in Rwanda’s Marburg outbreak The 42-day countdown period covers two virus incubation periods.

42 day countdown to end of #marburg in Rwanda.
Last patient discharged nov 8th.
66 cases, 15 deaths. Two icu patients extubated.
Incredible feat of containment of an outbreak that had the potential to be much worse. Bravo to Rwanda on its stellar outbreak response.
