Description

Fears have broadened in recent days over the amount of people in Liberia who could have possibly been exposed to the country’s first Ebola case in more than two weeks. The patient, identified as Ruth Tugbah, 44, had been in contact with a range of people, after she developed a fever and was contagious. Ms. Tugbah received a diagnosis of Ebola on Friday, ending a short-lived period of optimism that Liberia would be the first of three afflicted West African countries to emerge from the worst epidemic of the deadly virus in history. Over 10,000 people have died in the past year from Ebola, nearly all of them in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Liberia has so far made the most progress toward recovery but this could take them back to the start of this deadly epidemic.
