Second New Ebola Case in Liberia

A second case of Ebola has been confirmed in Liberia, just months after the country had been declared free of the disease, according to health officials.

The 5-year-old son of a 30-year-old woman who died on Thursday has now been taken to a treatment centre in Monrovia.

Authorities are now checking everyone the woman was in contact with, and 10 healthcare workers from the hospital where the woman was treated are also under observation. The woman, who died on arrival at the hospital on Thursday, had travelled with three of her children.
