Liberia beating disease

LIBERIA has lifted a state of emergency imposed for its “very survival” three months ago as the deadly Ebola virus was cutting a swathe through the west African nation.

The announcement — the clearest sign yet that the country believes it is beating an epidemic which has claimed nearly 3,000 Liberian lives — follows a dramatic drop in new cases.

“I have informed the leadership of the national legislature that I will not seek an extension of the state of emergency,” President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf announced.

On August 6, Sirleaf had said Ebola presented “a clear and present danger.”
