Health officials in Liberia say a five-year-old boy has tested positive for Ebola just days after his mother died of the virus.
A 30-year-old woman died of Ebola in Monrovia last week, months after Liberia was declared free of the virus. Her death followed a recent flare-up that took the lives of at least four people in neighboring Guinea.
Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah, who is also head of Liberia’s Ebola Incident Management System, said the latest flare-up has been traced to Guinea. But he said unlike in the past, Liberia’s health system has the capacity to deal with the flare-up.
Meanwhile, Survivors of Ebola are holding protests across Sierra Leone over what they believe is a lack of government care. They say some people have died because they have not received proper medical treatment.
Some women whose husbands died from Ebola say the government has not provided them with the support it promised, meaning their children cannot go to school.
