September 4, 2015 Africa, Health 0 Yvonne Arinda

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday that Ebola-ravaged Liberia was once again free of the deadly virus, prompting muted celebrations in the capital Monrovia.

 

Liberia was long the hardest hit in the west African Ebola outbreak that began in December 2013

The west African nation, where thousands died at the height of the epidemic last year, has already been declared Ebola-free once before, in May, only to see the fever resurface six weeks later.
