The move comes after the initial plan, dubbed "Zero Ebola in 60 Days," that elapsed on March 10, 2015 failed to yield the desired results.
FodeTass Sylla, head of communication for the national body charged with fighting Ebola, said Sunday the interim plan aims to reinforce the intervention teams in Conakry and neighboring prefectures such as Coyah, Dubreka, Boffa, Kindia and Forecariah.
He acknowledged that targets set by the national team coordinating the fight against Ebola with its partners, such as the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders, through the "Zero Ebola in 60 Days" had not been met.
One of the reasons given for the "failure" was the resistance and misinformation in some localities.
