World Health Organisation said on Wednesday in Geneva that the spread
of Ebola in Liberia appeared to be slowing compared to the “heavy
traffic” in the past.
Bruce
Aylward, who is in charge of WHO’s efforts to fight the disease in West
Africa, said there were indications that the actual number of newly
reported cases was beginning to decline in Liberia.
He said that
hospital beds in the capital Monrovia had been freeing up, the number
of laboratory-confirmed cases had remained stable, and the number of
burials had fallen.
Aylward stressed that the analysis was
preliminary, and that there was a chance that the development might be
due to a lack of reporting of new cases or people not seeking treatment.
