Liberia Track Down Ebola Virus Victims Who Fled On Saturday As Quarantine by Seandeeds(m): 5:25am On Aug 19, 2014
It's good news as Liberian officials track down Ebola virus victims who fled an Ebola quarantine centre. They have been tracked down and brought back under observation.

On Saturday, armed men claiming that there’s no Ebola in West Africa and Liberia raided a quarantine centre for the deadly disease in Monrovia overnight, prompting at least 20 patients infected with the deadly virus to flee, a witness said Sunday.
“They broke down the door and looted the place. The patients have all gone,” said Rebecca Wesseh, who witnessed the attack and whose report was confirmed by residents and the head of Health Workers Association of Liberia, George Williams.
It wasn’t clear how many of those who fled had been tracked down or how authorities were identifying them. There are concerns that the raid could fuel the spread of Ebola in a slum where at least 50,000 people live. Police said the looters stole bloody sheets and mattresses, which could carry the infection.
