Ebola Is Back

Months after officially declaring an end to the deadliest Ebola outbreak on record, the World Health Organization is reporting that a deceased woman in Liberia has tested positive for the Ebola virus.

A health ministry official told Reuters that “a young lady in her early thirties died of Ebola yesterday at the Redemption Hospital” and that the government is in the process of preparing a statement on the case.

The WHO was only able to declare the outbreak over this past January after 42 days (or two incubation periods) with zero reported cases. Before that, the epidemic had killed 11,300 people and infected more than 28,500.
