Abstract

We report 77 cases of occupational exposures for 57 healthcare workers at the Ebola Treatment Center in Conakry, Guinea, during the Ebola virus disease outbreak in 2014−2015. Despite the high incidence of 3.5 occupational exposures/ healthcare worker/year, only 18% of workers were at high risk for transmission, and no infections occurred.
