UN Mission in Liberia member contacts Ebola
A fourth member of the United Nation Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) has tested positive for Ebola and been hospitalized. The UN secretary-general's special representative for Liberia said the UN member tested positive on Tuesday and was immediately transferred to an Ebola treatment unit. Karin Landgren added, "UNMIL is taking all necessary measures to mitigate any possible further transmission -- both within the mission and beyond."
According to a UN statement on Wednesday, Ebola killed two UN members in the United Nations Mission in Liberia three months ago. “This is the fourth case of Ebola in the mission and UNMIL personnel continue to mourn the deaths of two colleagues who died from the disease only three months ago,” the statement read, adding that the mission is increasing surveillance "to ensure that all people who came into contact with the staff member while symptomatic are assessed and quarantined.”
"The confirmation of an additional Ebola case in UNMIL at the start of the holiday period is a stark reminder that we must all remain vigilant until there are no cases in Liberia or West Africa," it added.
