A patient has tested positive for Ebola in Liberia’s capital,
officials said Friday, deflating hopes that the country had
beaten the disease after weeks with no new cases.
Liberia has seen the most deaths in the West African Ebola
outbreak, which has killed more than 10,000 people. But
since it discharged its last case on March 5, it was counting
down to being declared Ebola-free. Countries must wait 42
days from when the last patient tests negative to be
declared free of the virus.
But a new patient has now tested positive, Dr. Francis
Kateh, the acting head of the country’s Ebola Incident
Management Team, said Friday. A second test is generally
done to confirm the diagnosis. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
