In the past seven days, 14 deaths and 47 new cases have been reported across the region.
In Guinea, where the outbreak started three months ago, 264 people have died of Ebola and 398 further cases have been reported.
In neighbouring Sierra Leone, which shut its borders last week to Guinea and Liberia in a bid to halt the spread of the virus, 97 infections and 49 deaths were confirmed, according to the WHO.

Ebola, which has a fatality rate of 90 per cent, is one of the most contagious viral diseases known and is transmitted through blood, body fluids or close contact with infected people.
