The resurgence of the Ebola virus in the world was reported by the Guinean health authorities on 14 February.
However, because of bad weather, Guinea has postponed an Ebola vaccine roll out that was to commence on Monday.
The plane carrying 11,000 vaccinations from the World Health Organisation was unable to land on Sunday at the Conakry-Gebessia International Airport due to poor weather conditions.
The plane was forced to divert to Senegal's Dakar.
