However, it is reported that the Flames match will go ahead as the resurfacing virus has affected forest areas such as Nzerekore.
“Many thanks for your messages of support, the cases are in Nzerekore in the forest area and do not pose a threat to hosting a match in Conakry,” said Dr Soce Fall of World Health Organisation in his message to CAF.
“There are no travel restrictions in Conakry.”
Coach Ernest Mtawali's team is currently camping in Sierra Leone where they will play a practice match on Tuesday.
