Less than 2 months after Liberia was declared Ebola-free, a young woman who was admitted on Sunday has become the second Ebola fatality. The woman, being the sixth Liberian to become infected since May 9, was being quarantined in her family home in Paynesville. The woman has been linked to a 17-year-old boy who succumbed to the virus last week. Other individuals who were in contact with the boy have since been placed under a watch list and are under quarantine.
