World Health Organisation (WHO) 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.
