New Cases Of Ebola In Liberia by itzduke(m): 7:11am On Jul 11, 2015 |
Ebola is back in Liberia more than a month after
the country thought it was rid of the virus.
A 17-year-old man died on June 29 of a fever
illness that was being treated as malaria. As part
of Liberia’s Ebola surveillance, swabs from the
young man were collected by a safe burial team.
Tests revealed that the young man died of Ebola,
the World Health Organization (WHO)
announced July 3.
Two of the nearly 200 people who came in contact
with the young man have also developed Ebola
symptoms and have been found to carry the
virus. Other contacts are being monitored.
Liberia was declared Ebola-free on May 9 after 42
days without a new case. It is not known how the
young man became infected.
To date 27,573 people have contracted Ebola and
11,246 have died. Most of the cases have
occurred in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
A report issued July 7 by a panel that analyzed the
global response to the Ebola outbreak says the
WHO and its member states were ill-equipped to
handle the epidemic and must make changes to
safeguard public health. For more stories like this visit www.naijaspice.yu.tl
