Ebola Epidemic Has Slowed Significantly

Ebola Epidemic Has Slowed Significantly.
West Africa's Ebola scourge has slowed significantly, but robustness officials are hesitant to say the lethal virus is no longer a threat. Ebola infections have killed more than 8600 ancestors and sickened 21000, mostly in the countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, since cases start with surfaced in Guinea last winter. Infections in all three countries have dropped in latest months, with Liberia experiencing the greatest falloff, the World Health Organization and others have reported in current days. Sierra Leone currently has the highest reproach of infection, with 118 people 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 mobile vulgus are being treated for Ebola in Liberia just now, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. That country experienced more than 300 young Ebola cases a week late last summer. But it's too betimes to predict that Liberia will soon be free of Ebola infection, Liberia's director of Ebola response, Tolbert Nyenswah, told reporters.
