EBOLA OUTBREAK: Liberia 'Ebola Free' For Second Time


The World Health Organization has declared Liberia free of Ebola for a second time. Liberia was first declared Ebola free on 9 May but the disease re-emerged on 29 June this year when six cases were identified and two of those people later died.

It's been 42 days since a second test on the last known confirmed case of Ebola in Liberia proved negative for the disease.

The WHO says the country now enters a 90-day period of heightened surveillance.
