Equatorial Guinea has quarantined more than 200 people and restricted movement after an unknown illness causing hemorrhagic fever killed at least eight people, Health Minister Mitoha Ondo'o Ayekaba said on Friday as the government races to test samples.

Cameroon imposed restrictions because of "the high risk of importation of this disease and in order to detect and respond to any cases at an early stage", Manaouda said in a statement.

The symptoms of the "non-identified illness" were nose bleeds, fever, joint pain and other ailments that caused death within a few hours, the head of health for the district, Ngu Fankam Roland, said in a statement. Ayekaba said the toll was revised to eight after it was confirmed that one of deaths was not related to the outbreak.
