More than 25,000 people have been infected with Ebola in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, according to a new report.

As of Tuesday, the outbreak, which has persisted for more than a year, has infected 25,178 people and killed 10,445, according to new numbers released by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Overall, the region has seen a drop in the number of confirmed cases and the number of patients filling Ebola treatment centers. However, medical groups have [warned against complacency](http://time.com/3753266/ebola-outbreak-one-year-anniversary/) and Guinea has seen [a recent uptick in infections](http://time.com/3750704/guinea-ebola-surge/). The country also just recently [launched an Ebola vaccine trial](http://time.com/3758011/ebola-vaccine-trial-guinea/).
