The World Health Organization declared Liberia free of Ebola on Saturday,
making it the first of the three hardest-hit West African countries to
bring a formal end to the epidemic.
.
The outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Liberia is over, the W.H.O. said in
a statement read by Dr. Alex Ntale Gasasira, the W.H.O.s representative to
Liberia, in a packed conference room at the emergency command center in
Monrovia, the capital.
.
Just prior to Dr. Gasasiras statement, Luke Bawo, an epidemiologist,
showed a map depicting all of Liberia in green with the number 42
superimposed on it. This represented that two maximum incubation periods
of the virus, a total of 42 days, had passed since the safe burial of the
last person confirmed to have had Ebola in the country, fulfilling the
official criteria for concluding that human-to-human transmission of the
virus has ended.
.
The room, packed with reporters and dignitaries including the U.S.
ambassador to Liberia, Deborah R. Malac, burst into applause, according to
a health official who was present.
.
The president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, then held a moment of
silence for those who had died. She thanked Liberians who had fought Ebola
as well as the countrys international partners and others around the
world, whose hearts were with us. She added, Let us celebrate, but stay
mindful and vigilant.
.
According to the W.H.O., there were more than 3,000 confirmed Ebola cases
in Liberia, and a further 7,400 suspected or probable cases, with more
than 4,700 deaths estimated to have occurred since the outbreak was
declared there in March of 2014. Among the dead were 189 health care
workers.
.
Im particularly struck by the significant progress we have made as a
country and as a people, Tolbert Nyenswah, a senior Liberian health
official who heads the countrys Ebola response efforts, said Thursday in
an interview. The end of the epidemic was, he said, a victory for Liberia
and Liberians. The only caution is that our subregion is not free yet, and
we are very much concerned about Guinea and Sierra Leone.
