WHO says Ebola may be on decline in Liberia
Print Edition
THE rate of new Ebola infections in Liberia appears to be declining and could represent a real trend, the World Health Organization said, but the epidemic is far from over.
There are empty beds in treatment centers and the number of burials in the country has declined, Dr Bruce Aylward, the assistant director-general for WHO, said yesterday. He said there may be as much as a 25 percent week-on-week reduction in cases in Liberia. But experts are still trying to ensure their data is reliable.
WHO has warned that its data have been incomplete and the number of cases are likely vastly underreported. That is still a concern, Aylward said, but the trend nonetheless appears to be real.
So far, more than 13,600 people have been sickened in the outbreak. Liberia’s Red Cross said on Tuesday that teams collected 117 bodies last week from the county, down from the high of 315 in September.
