A 15-year-old boy who
tested positive for Ebola last week in Liberia has died, becoming the first
victim since the country was declared free of the virus in September, health officials
have said. The
boy died on Monday afternoon at a treatment centre near the capital, Monrovia,
where his father and brother, the only two other confirmed Ebola cases in the
country, are also being treated.
Liberia
has seen more than 10,000 Ebola cases and more than 4,000 deaths.
Sierra
Leone was officially declared free of Ebola by the World Health Organization
(WHO) earlier this month.
