Armed Robbers Steals Blood Samples Infected By Ebola by jesusjewel1(f): 10:06pm On Nov 23, 2014
Armed robbers in Guinea have stolen a
batch of blood samples infected with Ebola
virus as they were in transit for delivery to
a test centre. The robbers held up a
minibus near the town of Kissidougou
which was transporting the samples.
According to AP, the blood was stored in a
sealed container and was being escorted
by four Red Cross officials.
Guinea authorities publicly appealed on
national radio to the unidentified robbers
to hand over the stolen samples that are
understood to have been taken from a
single person.
Guinea Red Cross press officer Faya
Etienne Tolno explained that the Guinea
Red Cross did not have its own vehicles
for transport, which explains why a taxi
was commissioned.
'We don't understand why they stole the
blood sample. Perhaps they thought there
was cash hidden in the flask,'
Dr. Barry Moumie, who heads patient care
for the national Ebola response
coordination committee, told The
Associated Press; 'We have informed the
security services. If these thieves handle
this blood, it will be dangerous.
'I can assure you, however, that the
sample-transportation procedures will now
be strengthened to avoid such
disappointments
