Health official says a second person has died from Ebola in the latest resurgence of the deadly disease in Liberia.
Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah told The Associated Press the woman in her early 20s who died Wednesday July 15 was linked to the 17-year-old boy who died last month. Three other confirmed cases are being treated in Monrovia.
Some of the more than 120 people under observation in Nedowein, southeast of Monrovia, could be discharged once they complete 21 days of quarantine and show no signs of infection, he said.
Liberia lost more than 4,800 lives to Ebola before it contained transmission in May. These are the first known cases since then.
