Ebola Epidemic Has Slowed Significantly.
West Africa's Ebola plague has slowed significantly, but salubrity officials are stuttering to say the lethal virus is no longer a threat. Ebola infections have killed more than 8600 folk and sickened 21000, mostly in the countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, since cases at the outset surfaced in Guinea final winter. Infections in all three countries have dropped in current months, with Liberia experiencing the greatest falloff, the World Health Organization and others have reported in just out days website. Sierra Leone currently has the highest velocity of infection, with 118 hoi polloi being treated for Ebola.
But, that number is less than half what it was just two weeks ago, according to a New York Times report. Only five forebears are being treated for Ebola in Liberia redress now, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. That boondocks informed more than 300 new Ebola cases a week preceding last summer. But it's too antediluvian to predict that Liberia will soon be free of Ebola infection, Liberia's maestro of Ebola response, Tolbert Nyenswah, told reporters.
