Ebola death reported in Sierra Leone hours after West Africa declared free of virus

A woman in Sierra Leone has died from Ebola only hours after the World Health Organization
said West Africa was free of the two-year epidemic.
Earlier on Thursday, WHO declared Liberia free of the disease after the country passed a 42 day
period - or two incubation periods - without registering a new case. It had discharged its last two
patients with the disease on December 3, 2015.
The two year epidemic infected almost 29,000 people and killed some 11,000, devastating the
economies and health systems of the hardest hit countries: Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Even as WHO declared West Africa free of the disease on Thursday, health officials said that it
was likely for flare-ups to persist although they would become less frequent over time.
