(VOVworld) - A 15-year-old boy has died of Ebola in Liberia less than three months after the country was declared free of the virus, officials have told the BBC.
He tested positive last week and died late on Monday at a treatment centre near the capital, Monrovia, Francis Kateh, the chief medical officer, said. His father and brother are being treated for Ebola at the centre.
Liberia has seen more than 10,000 Ebola cases and more than 4,000 deaths since the West Africa outbreak began in 2013. The World Health Organization (WHO) has twice declared Liberia to be Ebola-free, once in May and again in September.
