The jubilation in Liberia after it was declared Ebola free in September, 2015 may not last long as it has recorded yet another fatality from the deadly virus.
Chief medical officer Francis Kateh disclosed on Tuesday that a 15-year-old boy, Nathan Gbotoe has died of Ebola in Liberia, the first such fatality for months in a country declared free of the disease in September.
Health workers put on protective gear before entering a quarantine zone at a Red Cross facility in the town of Koidu
Officials said Nathan Gbotoe tested positive last week and died late on Monday in hospital in Paynesville near the capital, where his father and brother are also being treated for Ebola, .
Liberia has placed under surveillance 153 people who may have come into contact with Gbotoe. An additional 25 healthcare workers are being monitored, of which 10 are identified as high-risk, Kateh said.
The source of the virus is being investigated and Liberia has requested the assistance of two experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has twice declared the West African nation to be Ebola-free, once on May 9 and again on Sept. 3. Liberia’s last Ebola death was in July.
More than 11,300 people have died of the virus since the outbreak was announced in March 2014. Of the three countries hardest hit, Sierra Leone was declared Ebola-free on Nov. 7 and Guinea started its own countdown to zero on Nov. 16. Over 4,800 people died of Ebola in Liberia, according to WHO figures.
